History
Established in 1835.
Oglethorpe is named after James Edward Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia and a great civic leader who boldly stood against slavery. Not surprisingly, this university is grounded in public purpose – providing society with leaders who think independently, analyze critically, communicate effectively, and act ethically. Our Center for Civic Engagement is at the heart of our public mission, integrating service learning, student internships, urban field study, civic leadership and cultural study trips around the country and the globe. Oglethorpe’s students are nurtured to become talented, self-reliant and motivated graduates who are prepared to «make a life, make a living, and make a difference.»
