Engage. Lead. Succeed.
At the School of Government and International Affairs (SGIA), engagement is central to your education. Our students take what they learn in class and put it to work through internships with city and county agencies, nonprofits, and international organizations, as well as programs like the Georgia Legislative Internship Program and DC Owls. These experiences prepare them for graduate study, meaningful careers, and a lifetime of civic contribution.
SGIA faculty and staff are actively invested in your success. We help you step into leadership roles on campus, connect you with alumni and community partners, and build a professional network that opens doors at ʳɫÊÓÆµ, across Georgia, and beyond.
