Student Body
OUR STUDENTS COME FROM 159 COUNTRIES, ALL 50 U.S. STATES
AND NEARLY EVERY COUNTY IN GEORGIA.
Our widespread academic offerings and welcoming culture attract more than 52,000 students from 159 countries, all 50 U.S. states and nearly every county in Georgia. Diversity is woven into the very fabric of our culture, meaning our students stand to learn as much from their peers as they do from their professors.
*Because ethnicity is calculated separately from race, and because race sometimes goes unreported, the figures at right do not equal 100%.
