We are a member of the Annapolis Group, an organization of America’s most selective liberal arts institutions.

We offer small, personal classes in academically rigorous programs (including an individually planned major, which presents nearly endless options); partnerships with 20 Atlanta colleges and universities, including Emory, Georgia Tech and SCAD; a graduate program in education; and signature programs such as Urban Ecology, Rich Urban Leadership Program, the Honors Program, the Oglethorpe University Museum of Art, and Georgia Shakespeare, the campus’s professional theatre-in-residence.
