The roots of Augusta University were planted in 1828, and the College of Education bloomed in 1968. But you'll find modern facilities, practices, and people thriving in this rich and diverse "Garden City." Famed for its beautiful flora, sparkling historic waterways, and deep connections with the Savannah River Site, the United States Army Garrison at Fort Gordon, and the Masters golf tournament, the area known as Augusta's River Region continues to grow and thrive with new industry and new opportunities. We welcome you!
