LIFE IN ATLANTA
In a city where big things happen every day, we offer innovative curriculum in creative ways, plus something most campuses can’t: exposure to the world you’re preparing to conquer. Our campus isn’t near downtown; it’s in the heart of it. That’s why we’re Atlanta’s University.
As you learn and grow in the Southeast’s most important city — one rich in history and diversity — we’ll help pave your path to vital internships and exciting careers.
You’re here for more than a degree. This is the time to explore your interests, build lasting relationships and take huge steps toward your future. Our location — in the most educated city in the U.S.*— gives you an edge.
Whether you dream of designing video games, reporting world news or spearheading your own startup, you’ll have the chance to pursue your passion right here. And when you leave Georgia State, you’ll have the skills to make it happen.
WELCOME TO ATLANTA. Welcome home. It’s time to make your mark.

Known as the “cradle of the Civil Rights Movement” and former home to icons Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Congressman John Lewis, Atlanta’s community spirit is longstanding. Visit the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the State Capitol or the Georgia World Congress Center.
Future host of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, downtown Atlanta — where our campus is nestled — is rapidly becoming the place to be. Revitalization projects are adding retail and dining, high-rise apartments and world-class entertainment to our streets. You’ll be within walking distance of the most in-demand developments—Centennial Yards, South Downtown (SoDo) and the Stitch. We’re truly Atlanta’s university.
We’re a city of trees. Atlanta’s green spaces, parks and nature trails are perfect for cycling, skating and running. Soak up the sun on the 33-mile Atlanta Beltline, spot the waterfall at Cascade Springs Nature Preserve or take a stroll around Piedmont Park.
Professional sports are huge here. The city’s home to the NFL’s Falcons, MLB’s Braves, NBA’s Hawks, WNBA’s Dream and the MLS’s Atlanta United soccer club. Passionate fans fill our stands all year long. We can’t wait for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be hosted practically in our backyard.
