| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
 |
Armstrong Atlantic State University was founded in 1935 to enhance higher educational opportunities in the community. The foundation of the institution, then as now, was a firm commitment to the ideals of a liberal education. Armstrong Atlantic today serves a diverse student body of nearly 7,000. Forty-five percent are from the Savannah-Chatham County area. Others come from throughout Georgia, the nation, and more than 73 countries.
The university is located on the Atlantic Coast in the historic, port city of Savannah, Georgia. AASU’s 268-acre campus is a mix of stately traditional and modern buildings and is surrounded by a beautiful arboretum. Students, faculty, and staff find much to enjoy about attending Armstrong Atlantic and living in the cosmopolitan city of Savannah.
Armstrong Atlantic offers a wide variety of extracurricular activities including student publications, campus recreation, and more than 60 student clubs, professional organizations, and academic honor societies. Cultural opportunities include student dramatic, choral, and instrumental groups, and the Faculty Lecture Series. AASU hosts nationally-known speakers, contemporary concerts, art exhibits, and performances by classical and modern artists. With more than 200 events open to the public each year, AASU is a cultural center for the Savannah metropolitan area.
AASU is affiliated with the NCAA Division II and the Peach Belt Conference. Men’s athletic teams include basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf. Women’s teams include basketball, softball, volleyball, tennis, and starting this fall – soccer and golf.
Georgia’s founding city, Savannah has all the cultural variety of a metropolitan city with the added advantage of the ocean at its back door. A temperate climate encourages year-round outdoor recreation. You can swim and sun at the beach, water ski, sail, cruise on a boat, fish off barrier islands, hike, hunt, visit historic sites, play golf and tennis, dine at an outdoor café, attend city festivals and special celebrations on the waterfront and in the parks, and much more. Dance and theater groups, and popular entertainers regularly perform at larger downtown venues. |
