Overall enrollment exceeds 36,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students residing within 17 schools and colleges, including a recently established School of Medicine. The University's main campus, home to the College of Veterinary Medicine ( CVM), is located in Athens approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta. Athens is a vibrant and affordable university community of approximately 120,000 readily accessible to the North Georgia mountains and Atlantic coast.

The UGA CVM, founded in 1946, is a recognized leader among veterinary colleges. Ranked among the top five public university veterinary medical programs, over 200 faculty in seven departments welcome 150 incoming professional students annually. While dedicated to training future veterinarians and providing the highest quality hospital and diagnostic laboratory services to animal owners and veterinarians, the CVM is also a leader in the investigation of animal and human disease. Equipped with technologically advanced biocontainment facilities, such as the Animal Health Research Center, and a One Health Precision Medicine approach that builds on our research and clinical strengths, the CVM has a total research expenditure of $59.1 million. Nearly $12 million funds vaccine research addressing a range of public health concerns from avian influenza to COVID.
