As the governmental, financial, retail, health and legal center of the Southeast, Atlanta supplies abundant sites for internships and real-world learning experiences for Georgia State students. Inside the classroom, the professors are approachable and engaging, helping students connect with relevant research and work opportunities. Outside the classroom, Georgia State offers a multitude of ways to get involved: over 200 students clubs, including 20 international student groups and multiple professional organizations, sports opportunities and amazing recreational facilities.
