Our Campuses
Demorest Campus
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Northeast Georgia, our campus is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hiking, fishing, kayaking, touring vineyards and wineries, horseback riding, pottery exhibits and ziplining are among the many activities students and locals enjoy. Yonah Mountain rises more than 3,000 feet between nearby Cleveland and Helen. Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, is less than an hour’s ride from the Demorest campus. Abundant waterfalls with names like Anna Ruby, Panther Creek, and Tallulah tumble from summits and inspire awe.
Demorest is also just 25 minutes from Gainesville, Georgia; 45 minutes from Athens, Georgia; and just 70 minutes from Atlanta, and Greenville, South Carolina.
Athens Campus
The Athens Campus is 50 Minutes from The Demorest Campus and 6 minutes from historic Downtown Athens. Its hip and intellectual vibe has inspired artists, athletes, musicians, politicians, authors, and comedians. Antebellum and Victorian structures have become trendy shops, art galleries, late-night hangouts and local eateries. A natural history museum and botanical garden appeal to people of all ages.
