Georgia College & State University is a place where you can pursue your interests, discover your purpose, and lead at all levels. We provide a personal education experience with a private school feel at a public school price. The inclusive GCSU community is warm, personable, and caring and promotes the creation of big ideas in a small and special setting. We are proud and privileged to be included in the top three public schools in the state when it comes to first-year retention rates and graduation rates, but the unique beauty of GCSU is that it allows and invites each and every student to both go big and come home. That’s what makes us so special. Because only at GCSU can you Go Small in a Big Way.   
Please note: Georgia College does not require the Common App essay, but we do require a personal essay. On the Common Application, the GCSU personal essay will be referred to as "Supplemental Writing."
