President's Message
Read MG Peter J. Boylan's Biography
Georgia Military College was created by act of the Georgia legislature in 1879 for the
purpose of "...educating young men and women in an environment which fosters the qualities of good citizenship...." It continues
 to fulfill its original purpose by embracing the philosophy that education is two dimensional, involving development of the intellect
along with elevating the qualities of character of the student.
Our faculty are selected and retained for their ability to teach and to relate to students. They have no requirement to publish,
perform research, or engage in other activities which would remove them from the classroom. Our faculty care about and teach our
students. They care that you come to class; they care that you are stimulated intellectually; they care that you learn. Our
teachers care that you acquire critical thinking skills, and they teach in such a way as to ensure that such a capability is
acquired. Our classes are small - typically 15 persons - which guarantees individual attention and promotes learning. Free
tutoring is available for every course for those students who request it. In short, we see our goal as ensuring that you succeed.
As a small college, we ensure that you receive the treatment you deserve and tailor our programs to meet your individual needs,
not only in the classroom, but in every dimension of student life. Our Student Services staff provides you with assistance in
financial aid, career planning, academic advising, and counseling. Student Activities provides programs in intramurals, student
clubs, cultural activities, and social events to enrich your student experience. We also offer a number of intercollegiate sports
for both men and women.
Our goal is identical to yours...to ensure that you succeed in achieving your aims. We have accomplished this with many
thousands of students during our more-than-a-century existence. Let us help you to become that person you know deep down
inside yourself that you can become.
