President’s Message

Message from Our President

For nearly a century and a half, Georgia Military College has been transforming lives through education rooted in character, leadership, and opportunity. Today, that mission remains just as powerful—and just as urgent—as it was in 1879. Our students come from every corner of Georgia and beyond, united by a common goal: to take hold of their future with confidence and purpose.

What drew me to GMC is what draws so many of our students to our institution: the chance to be part of something greater. This is a place where learning challenges the mind and builds the foundation for living an impactful life. It’s a place where faculty and staff go beyond teaching—they mentor, support, and walk alongside each student on their journey. GMC is a place where the development of character is just as important as the pursuit of knowledge.

GMC is a diverse institution of higher education where students from all backgrounds, committed to bettering themselves and the world around them, gather together with a common purpose. We remain open-access, with resources like free tutoring, small class sizes, and individualized academic support to help every student thrive.

Whether you’re attending classes on our historic Main Campus, online through our Global Online Leadership College, or at one of our eight satellite locations across Georgia, your experience at GMC is focused on flexibility, affordability, and quality. Our faculty believe in teaching, and they believe in you. Our Graduation and Enrollment Coaches are committed to helping you navigate every step, from your first class all the way through earning your degree.

Looking ahead, I am honored to help lead this institution into the future, building on our legacy while meeting the evolving needs of today’s learners. GMC continues to grow because we care deeply about the lives we touch and the leaders we help develop.

Since 1879, GMC has helped students build strong minds, strong character, and strong futures. And that mission continues—with you.

Leadership Is Our Legacy, and Your Future.

With pride and purpose,
Major General Terrence J. McKenrick, U.S. Army (Retired)
President, Georgia Military College
