Georgia On Everyone’s Mind

Founded in 1733, Georgia was the thirteenth colony to be added to the original thirteen, and Georgia became a state on January 2, 1788. Today the state is a melting pot of booming metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, often referred to as the Los Angeles of the south, quaint southern coastal towns like Savannah where food and southern culture still thrive, and rural farming communities from the mountains to the coast. A diverse state overall, historically about 50% of Georgia’s population was African American, that entire population almost completely enslaved before the Civil War. Martin Luther King Jr was born in Atlanta in 1929 and for the state of Georgia, he has become a symbol of the hardships and inequalities people of color faced historically, and are still battling today. Today, about 60% of the state’s population being white, 30% African American, and another 10% Hispanic.

Higher Education Opportunities in Georgia

Colleges and universities have made a strong commitment across the board, both public and private, to serve underserved populations through initiatives like the Institute Diversity program at Georgia Tech which works to engage “a diverse cadre of students, faculty, and staff with a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives, interests, and talents” to contribute to the university’s admissions and mission overall. The University System of Georgia has also made efforts in recent years to make attending college for veterans an easier and more accessible process and offer a number of benefits, resources, and information for veterans wishing to attend college. According to the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute (GBPI), about 65% of jobs in Georgia require at least a bachelor’s degree, but only about 50% of workers meet the requirement–the major challenges for residents include finding the ability to access higher education, or finding the way to pay for it. For these reasons, in recent years, Georgia universities, both private and public, have started to offer a diverse group of fully online degree programs to serve residents across the state who would otherwise not be able to attend college.
