Mission Statement

Motto: Local is global.

The University Press of North Georgia, a scholarly, peer-reviewed press, is an extension of our sponsoring university, North Georgia College & State University. Our primary function is to promote education and research, with a special emphasis on local and global cultures. Culture is defined in the broadest sense of the term to include intellectual and artistic activity as well as shared community. Our partnership with the university provides a learning environment for students to gain real life experiences in publishing and marketing.

Our structure comprises two boards, an editorial (mainly students) and a faculty. The Faculty Board has final approval over manuscript acquisitions and projects, after the Editorial Board has reached all its press decisions. This collaborative effort again offers our students real life experiences in publishing and marketing.
