I'm sure the alumni of some the universities not included on this list would disagree with excluding them from a list of "the 5 major Universities" found in Georgia, but the best list is probably:
- University of Georgia, Athens
- Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta
- Georgia State University, Atlanta
- Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw
- Georgia Southern University, Statesboro
Some other Universities of note are:
- Mercer University, Macon
- Morehouse College, Atlanta
- Savannah State University, Savannah
