History

Georgia College was inaugurated in 1889 as Georgia Normal and Industrial College. The emphasis at the time was largely vocational, and the main task was to prepare young women for teaching or industrial careers. In 1917, in accordance with the economic and cultural changes in the state, Georgia Normal and Industrial College were authorized to grant degrees, first awarded in 1921. In 1922, the institute's name was changed to Georgia State College for Women. The university has been part of the Georgia University System since its inception in 1932. The name was changed to Georgia Women's University in 1961, and, when it became coeducational in 1967, it became Georgia College in Milledgeville. The name was abbreviated to Georgia College in 1971. In August 1996, the Bupati's Council approved a name change to Georgia College & State University, and a new mission as the University of Public Liberal Arts of Georgia.

The Old Governor's Mansion is also within walking distance of the dorm and front campus.
