UGA has set a new spring semester enrollment record with a total of 32,968 students attending classes in Athens and at the university’s four extended campuses.
The total is 2.5 percent above last spring’s enrollment of 32,177, and exceeds by 458 the spring record of 32,510 students, set in 2007. The total includes 32,044 students attending classes at UGA’s main campus in Athens and 924 students at the extended campuses in Gwinnett County, Griffin, Tifton and Buckhead (Atlanta).
Enrollment on the main campus in Athens-up by 751 students over last spring-includes 24,337 undergraduates, 6,042 graduate students and 1,543 students in the professional schools of law, pharmacy and veterinary medicine. Another 122 students are enrolled in independent study.
Enrollment at the extended campuses increased by 4.5 percent from last spring. Gwinnett has the largest with 472 students, all but three of whom are studying for graduate degrees. UGA offers only graduate courses at Gwinnett after phasing out undergraduate courses when Georgia Gwinnett College opened in 2006.
