Middle Georgia State University

Middle Georgia State University is a public university with its main campus in Macon, Georgia. It is part of the University System of Georgia and offers master's, bachelor's and associate degrees, as well as some certificates, to students on five campuses in Middle Georgia, and online.

The institution, originally known as Middle Georgia State College, was founded in 2013 through the merger of Middle Georgia College and Macon State College. Through these legacy institutions, Middle Georgia State University traces its history to 1884. In 2015, the institution adopted its current name to reflect its elevation to state university status.

The Honors Program at Middle Georgia State is designed to help academically advanced students develop their potential through challenging educational activities. Its main goal is to encourage these students in individual, rational, and creative thinking. Honours students have small classes with the university's finest professors, and students have opportunities to travel with their professors to research libraries, museums and theatres, and formal academic conferences.

Middle Georgia State sponsors intercollegiate athletics teams in ten sports: men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, and men's and women's soccer, which compete in facilities on the Cochran campus.

In the fall of 2016, the university added women's volleyball and women's cross country. Those teams will compete on the Macon campus, as well as the men's and women's tennis teams.
