Valdosta State University offers the best of both worlds — the extensive academic, cultural and social opportunities of a major university, and the small classes and close personal attention found at smaller institutions. VSU has a legacy as a major provider of Students in front of West Halleducation services for South Georgia. Closer to campus, VSU offers internships and experiential learning opportunities to expand students’ horizons. Outside the academic setting, campus organizations encourage leadership, social interaction, recreation, cultural and religious development and community service.

Recognized for its vision in creating a leading-edge living and learning environment, VSU continues an extensive transformation of its campus. Hard-working students enjoy private study rooms, new computer labs and an Internet caf? in Odum Library, and re-energize at name brand campus eateries such as Quizno’s, Chick-fil-A and Einstein Bros. Bagels.

Located equidistant from Atlanta and Orlando, the Valdosta State University campus boasts beautiful Spanish Mission architecture nestled among pines and palms. Its campus lies at the heart of metropolitan Valdosta, a city with true southern charm and forward-thinking leadership. VSU challenges students with the opportunities and experiences necessary for personal success, while always providing true southern hospitality.

University's greatest strength is the faculty whose primary focus is on teaching. They care about their students and challenge them to achieve their full academic potential. Every course is taught by experienced professors with world-class credentials, not by graduate assistants. There are more than 450 men and women on  faculty and more than 78 percent of them hold a doctoral degree or the highest degree in their fields. They're not here by accident.

VSU is not a small school, it enrolls over 10,500 students, we think we're just the right size. It is large enough to offer more than 90 degree programs of study, yet small enough to offer the individualized attention students deserve. The average undergraduate class size is 24, with a student faculty ratio of 21 to 1. This ratio allows meaningful interaction between faculty and students. The university currently have students from every county in Georgia, 47 states and 58 foreign countries.

Valdosta State University has a wide selection of fully online endorsement and graduate degree programs available to advance your career in education. Some of these programs are offered through Georgia ONmyLINE (GOML), a University System of Georgia collaborative.
