“Big Opportunity. Close to Home.”
Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is a public four-year liberal arts college located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, part of the University System of Georgia and serving Gwinnett County — the second-most populous county in Georgia. Founded on August 18, 2006, GGC is historically significant as the first four-year college created in Georgia in more than 100 years and the first new four-year public college established in the United States in the 21st century. The college grew from its founding class of 118 students in 2006 to approximately 12,000 students in 2024. GGC offers bachelor's degree programs across the liberal arts, sciences, business, and education, emphasizing small class sizes, faculty-student engagement, and hands-on learning. As a teaching-focused institution, GGC does not have graduate programs, concentrating all resources on undergraduate excellence. The college's Grizzlies compete in NAIA athletics. GGC serves a highly diverse student body drawn from across Gwinnett County's rapidly growing population, which includes large communities from Latin America, Asia, and Africa — reflecting the county's dramatic demographic transformation in recent decades.
