About University of West Georgia

Amazing things happen when you Go West. Respected, experienced faculty supply you with the up-to-date knowledge and cutting edge skills required to excel in today’s marketplace. You can cheer a Wolves athletic team to victory, grab a coffee break at Starbucks, take in a theatre production, an art exhibit, or a lecture on any number of topics – all without leaving campus. UWG students are performing biomedical research, outranking private university debate teams, studying trees to evaluate historical sites, and submitting winning tee shirt designs for the Peachtree Road Race. They are studying overseas, developing local outreach programs, and building robots. Our faculty and staff are visiting far-flung reaches of the world to give lectures, provide medical services, and educate the less fortunate. They’re publishing books, advising small businesses, and excavating archaeological sites. And our alumni are newscasters, authors, international business leaders and teachers of the year. They’re Hollywood makeup artists, entrepreneurs, critical care nurses, and everything in between. Everywhere you look, UWG is blazing trails to new possibilities for scholarly achievement, creative expression, and service to humanity. We invite leaders, life-changers, seekers, creators, visionaries, investigators, and game-changers to join the more than 11,600 students enrolled at UWG.
