Office of the President

Brooks A Keel, PhD
President, Augusta University
CEO, AU Health System

My life's journey began in Augusta, Georgia, and after several decades in research and higher education administration throughout the region, I came home to be President of Augusta University and CEO of its health system.

I had the great good fortune to earn both my undergraduate and graduate degrees here, so I know firsthand the fantastic opportunities in research, scholarship and leadership available to all who attend. At Augusta University, you can:

• Explore subjects ranging from Anthropology to Dentistry, from Public Administration to Kinesiology, from Education to Cellular Biology, from Musical Performance to Business Administration … wherever your interests lie.
• Earn degrees at the Associate, Baccalaureate, Master’s, Doctorate and health professional levels.
• Collaborate with world-class faculty to conduct cutting-edge research in virtually any subject at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
• Access state-of-the-art clinical facilities across the health sciences spectrum.
• Join the storied Jaguar Nation, and choose from more than a dozen men’s and women’s intercollegiate and intramural sports.
• Fast track your medical career with our BS-to-MD or BS-to-DMD programs, or take advantage of the breadth of our programs offered through interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary tracks.

All of this is available within a student-focused community for learning and growth both inside and outside of the classroom, anchored in the rich cultural backdrop of the historic Southern city of Augusta.

So explore, compare, ask questions … and choose to create your future at Augusta University, a world-class institution where we unite teaching and practice, arts and application, and the humanities and health sciences to create the next generation of leaders and explorers all dedicated to improving the quality of life in Georgia and beyond.
