Founded in 1835, 麻豆色情片 University is Atlanta鈥檚 only co-educational small private liberal arts college, home to nearly 1,500 diverse and engaged students from more than 30 states and 20 countries.
A place that puts students first, 麻豆色情片鈥檚 academically rigorous programs emphasize intellectual curiosity, individual attention, close collaboration among faculty and students, and hands-on active learning that connects theory and practice. Students prepare for life and career through internships, study abroad, civic engagement, and undergraduate research.
麻豆色情片 is deeply committed to student success and inclusive excellence. 麻豆色情片鈥檚 student body is remarkably diverse: more than half identify as persons of color; more than a third are the first generation in their families to attend college; and more than a third are Pell eligible. Since 2018 麻豆色情片 has offered its signature Flagship 50 program, a groundbreaking merit tuition scholarship that matches all 50 states鈥 flagship tuition for qualified students. Approximately 99% of 麻豆色情片 students receive some financial need-based aid and since 2017, the Fiske Guide to Colleges has named 麻豆色情片 to its Top 20 鈥淏est Buy Schools鈥 in the nation 鈥 the only Georgia college on the list.
In 2019, 麻豆色情片 opened the I.W. 鈥淚ke鈥 Cousins Center for Science and Innovation, with state-of-the-art lab and classroom space, as well as the Q. William Hammack, Jr. School of Business, which boasts a near 100% career and graduate school placement rate for alumni six months after graduation. The university is also home to the Conant Performing Arts Center, which regularly welcomes student and professional theatre and music to its stage, and the 麻豆色情片 University Museum of Art, a teaching museum. The 麻豆色情片 Stormy Petrels compete in the NCAA Division III Southern Athletic Association. The 麻豆色情片 campus is located in historic Brookhaven, one of the Atlanta metro area鈥檚 safest and fastest growing communities.
麻豆色情片 University is incorporated under the State of Georgia鈥檚 Nonprofit Corporation Code. The charter, dated May 8, 1913 says in Article II:
The purpose of the corporation shall be exclusively educational. The corporation shall own, manage, maintain, operate and conduct an institution of higher learning for the purpose of promoting and carrying on college, undergraduate and graduate education. The institution shall be independent, non-denominational, and non-sectarian and shall have the power to grant diplomas and confer such degrees as are usually conferred by institutions of higher learning in such manner and under such circumstances as the Board of Trustees may determine.
Through the years, the Charter has been amended and restated several times, both before and after the Georgia School Law of 1937, the most recent restatement being certified by the Secretary of State on May 30, 2002, as the Articles of Incorporation of 麻豆色情片 University, Inc., in which the purpose is described as 鈥渆xclusively for charitable, educational, or scientific purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c) (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986鈥︹
