"North Georgia has a strong history of developing professional, civic and military leaders who have a positive impact in their communities," said President David L. Potter. "Our consistent inclusion in this list points to the strength of our university and the outstanding educational experience we provide."
This marks the seventh consecutive year that North Georgia has placed in the top 25 public universities in the South, and a climb from the #23 position in the 2010 report. Over the past two decades, the U.S. News college rankings, which group schools based on categories created by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, has grown to be commonly used research tool for students and parents considering higher education opportunities.
Additionally, North Georgia was the top-ranked university in the South for the least amount of debt load for the class of 2009. "With state appropriations declining for public universities, students are taking on an increased responsibility for the cost of their education through tuition and fees," said Kate Maine, director of university relations. "This report highlights the high-value experience North Georgia provides its students."
