The University System of Georgia consolidated Georgia Health Sciences University, which was founded in 1828 as a medical school, and Augusta State University, which was chartered in 1925 as the first junior college in the state, into Augusta University in 2013. Augusta University is a public research university, an academic medical center, and the state's health sciences university, dedicated to delivering life-changing, life-saving education that prepares the next generation of innovators, leaders, and healthcare providers. With four campuses in Augusta and satellite locations across Georgia, the university leads groundbreaking research that enriches and improves the human experience. Offering undergraduate programs in the liberal arts and sciences, health sciences, computer and cyber sciences, business, and education, along with a full range of graduate programs and hands-on clinical research opportunities, the university is home to nationally ranked business and nursing schools, the state's flagship public medical school, and its only dental school, giving its 11 colleges and schools true statewide impact.
Health Sciences Campus
Augusta University's College of Allied Health Sciences is located on the university's Health Sciences Campus in Augusta's medical district, home to the state's only public academic medical center and one of approximately 120 academic medical centers nationwide. This vibrant, interdisciplinary environment supports collaboration across health professions education, research, and clinical care.
The Health Sciences Campus houses six of Augusta University's eleven colleges and schools, creating a dynamic academic health sciences community dedicated to advancing health care, discovery, and workforce development across Georgia and beyond.
The campus includes:

• The Medical College of Georgia (MCG) - one of the nation's largest and oldest medical schools and the only public medical school in Georgia. Anchored in Augusta with regional campuses throughout the state, MCG includes nearly 900 full- and part-time faculty who are deeply engaged in patient care, medical education, research, and community outreach.
• The College of Nursing, the largest nursing program in Georgia, prepares nurse leaders through innovative education, impactful research, clinical practice, and community engagement aimed at improving the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities across the state.
• The College of Allied Health Sciences, which educates therapists, technicians, administrators, managers, and other health professionals who form a critical component of the state's health care workforce.
• The College of Science and Mathematics, which provides foundational training in the sciences and prepares students for careers in health professions, research, and scientific discovery.

Augusta University's Health Sciences Campus is further strengthened by its partnership with Wellstar Health System, which established Wellstar MCG Health.

These facilities serve as primary clinical training sites for students and residents while also supporting cutting-edge clinical research and providing comprehensive care to patients across the region.
