Which public university in Georgia is known for its English department?

Question

I want to get my bachelor's in English. Which GA school would be best?

Answer 1

The rankings of English Literature departments is highly correlated with the rankings of universities. The better universities tend to have better English departments.

Georgia has two outstanding public universities -- Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia.

While Georgia Tech is the higher rated school, because it is a Technical Institute, University of Georgia will have the better English department.

US News ranks the University of Georgia at #59 in their ranking of public univesities -- which is a pretty high ranking (Ga Tech is #35). Other public universities in the state -- like Georgia State are ranked very low.

Answer 2

The University of Georgia would be the best known, probably. I understand though, that Georgia State and Georgia Southern have good English departments too. Consider the settings...UGA is in a big college town and many of the classes are taught by grad assistants. Georgia State is very urban and probably not as well respected by people outside of Georgia as it should be. Georgia Southern is in a rural/surburban setting and although it is tagged as a "party school" it is no worse than UGA. I think you'll get more one on one interaction there too, since it's the smallest of the three.
