Augusta University is a public research university in Augusta, Georgia, formed from a merger. Its oldest part is the Medical College of Georgia, chartered in December 1828 as the Medical Academy of Georgia, which began teaching at Augusta's City Hospital with three faculty and seven students. The other partner, Augusta State University, traced its roots to the Academy of Richmond County of 1783. The Board of Regents consolidated Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences University on January 8, 2013, and the combined school took the Augusta University name in December 2015. The Medical College of Georgia still anchors a large health sciences enterprise, and its 2026 first-year class of 304 medical students is the largest ever. The university has also grown its research, with American Heart Association grants totalling nearly $16 million, and kicked off its fall 2026 term with President Russell Keen.
