Oglethorpe University is where individualized learning meets endless opportunity. You’re never just a number here. At Oglethorpe, you are a part of a small community with the world at your fingertips.
Founded in 1835, Oglethorpe University is recognized as Atlanta’s premier undergraduate learning experience. A close-knit campus community with close proximity to big-city opportunities, Oglethorpe is synonymous with excellence. Excellence in all of its forms – academic, athletic, performing arts, and leadership – sets Oglethorpe apart from other colleges and universities.
Today, Oglethorpe enrolls approximately 1,500 students, representing more than 35 states and 10 countries. We resemble the community and make it a priority to provide a private, liberal arts education at an affordable cost thanks to our need-based and merit scholarships and the Flagship 50 program.
