Following the American Revolution, a zeal for education spread through the new United States. Augustans, too, caught this fire and chartered the state's first academy in 1783. In 1791 when President George Washington attended the examinations at the Academy of Richmond County, the school offered post-secondary studies in Latin, French, Greek, algebra, and trigonometry to prepare students for transfer to university sophomores. This year of college work was the beginning of higher education in Augusta.
In 1996 Augusta College acquired university status as Augusta State University. In 2011 MCG became Georgia Health Sciences University to reflect its broad mission in many health sciences. Both schools had expanded programs to meet the educational needs of the rapidly changing society of the late 20th/early 21st century.

In these communities, students are provided more opportunities to interact with faculty outside the classroom, receive more significant academic support opportunities, feel more connected to the University, and have a stronger sense of belonging.

When First District Agricultural & Mechanical School's inaugural academic year began in 1908, few could have foreseen a major American university growing out of four faculty members and 15 students in just a little more than one lifetime. Georgia Southern boasts 27,000-plus students, more than 2,000 faculty and staff, and 141 programs of study at the bachelor's, masters, and doctoral levels in its second century of service.
Founded as a school for teaching modern agricultural production techniques and homemaking skills to rural schoolchildren, then-First District A&M School began within two decades to shift its emphasis to meet the growing need for teachers within the state. Its name and mission were changed in 1924 to Georgia Normal School as a training ground for educators, though it continued to accept "preparatory" or high school students. Five years later, in 1929, full-fledged senior college status was granted as South Georgia Teachers College. Two universities became one. On December 1, 2015, that one became Augusta University.
