At Brenau University, our students turn their passions into careers. Whether you want to provide mental or physical healthcare in your community, build and grow your own business, or express your artistic talents, Brenau has a path for you. With four academic colleges offering 38 bachelor’s degrees, 38 master’s degrees and 10 doctoral degrees, you have plenty of opportunities to pursue a meaningful career, wherever your interests take you.
For over 140 years, expanding access to education has been our reason for being. Starting in 1878, Brenau educated women when few other institutions were doing so. Today, we carry this commitment into everything we do, and we are proud to serve first generation students, military members, veterans and families, and traditional and nontraditional students. If you remember one thing about Brenau, remember that, regardless of who you are and where you come from, you belong here.
Mission
Brenau University challenges students to live extraordinary lives of personal and professional fulfillment. As students pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees or non-degree programs at Brenau campuses and online, each prepares for a lifetime of intellectual accomplishment and appreciation of artistic expression through a curriculum enriched by the liberal arts, scientific inquiry and global awareness.
Vision
Brenau University will become a nationally recognized leader by empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds and equipping them for success through transformative experiences. With an enduring commitment to serve each student, Brenau will continue to pursue excellence while meeting the changing needs of our community and the world.
Strategic Plan: Approaching 2030
If given a crystal ball in early 2020, could any of us have predicted what the next two years would bring? Yet, Brenau University recently peered into the future of this institution to determine where we want to be in five years and devised a roadmap to take us there. Below is that roadmap, developed through a collaborative and open process that included hundreds of faculty, staff, students, alumni, students and trustees.
We reaffirmed our mission statement and refreshed our vision for the future of the university as we approach 2030.
Our goals and strategies will help us get there, building upon our legacy of success established in 1878. This vision supports our mission, ensuring that we will continue to prepare students to lead and influence a changing world.
