Albany State University (ASU) is a public historically Black university (HBCU) located in Albany, Georgia, and part of the University System of Georgia. Founded in 1903 as the Albany Bible and Manual Training Institute by the American Home Missionary Society, ASU enrolls approximately 6,800 students across undergraduate and graduate programs in the colleges of arts and sciences, business, education, and health sciences. The university is committed to its HBCU mission of providing transformative educational opportunities and has grown significantly through its 2017 merger with Darton State College. Albany State's Golden Rams compete in NCAA Division II athletics, and the university serves as a vital educational and economic anchor for the southwest Georgia region.
