The Best of Gwinnett Awards, organized by the GuidetoGwinnett.com, are not just any honor. They represent the voice of the community, a true reflection of the quality and dedication of the recipients. For UGA Gwinnett, this award underscores its mission to provide accessible, quality education and professional training in one of Georgia’s fastest-growing and most diverse regions. It’s a recognition that resonates with every student who has walked through its doors, every professional who has found new opportunities through its programs, and every local business that has thrived with its support.
UGA Gwinnett’s story is one of visionary ambition and steadfast commitment. As part of the University of Georgia’s strategic plan, the Gwinnett Campus set out to expand graduate, certificate, and continuing education opportunities far beyond its immediate geographical boundaries. Reaching out to neighboring states, it has become a hub of learning and professional growth, not just for Georgia residents but for those in Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee, and South Carolina.
The campus itself is a vibrant center of activity. With 60,000 square feet of instructional and support space, it’s equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including collaborative classrooms, a Learning Resource Center, and study rooms. The commitment to providing a conducive learning environment is evident in every corner of the campus. The Learning Resource Center, for instance, offers access to an extensive network of resources.
What sets UGA Gwinnett apart is its understanding of the needs of working professionals. With schedules that accommodate night and Saturday classes, students can pursue advanced degrees without putting their careers on hold. This flexibility is crucial in today’s fast-paced world, where continuing education is often balanced with work and family responsibilities.
The academic programs at UGA Gwinnett are notable not just for their variety – with 11 graduate degree programs and numerous certificate and professional development opportunities – but also for their quality.
