Armstrong Atlantic State University is located in Savannah, within twenty-five miles of some of Georgia's most beautiful coastline. Each year, millions visit Savannah, founded in 1733, for its famous historic squares and charming oaks draped with Spanish moss. Since its founding 65 years ago by the City of Savannah, Armstrong Atlantic has become a vibrant 250-acre, urban campus of nearly 7,000 traditional and non-traditional students serving a wider community of nearly 340,000 residents.
The university offers programs at two other centers in the coastal Georgia area. It is the lead institution at the Liberty Center in Hinesville -- an education consortium of five institutions in the University System of Georgia -- and is a cooperative partner at The Brunswick Center, located at Coastal Georgia Community College. With a challenging array of more than 75 undergraduate and 11 graduate degree programs in arts and sciences, teacher education, and the health professions, Armstrong Atlantic provides its students with a firm foundation in both the liberal arts and specialized areas of study.
With more than 200 events open to the public each year, Armstrong Atlantic is a cultural center for the Savannah area. The university hosts internationally-known speakers, contemporary concerts, popular films, art exhibits, and performances by classical and modern artists.
