Bainbridge College is a Community College in the University System of Georgia. For more than 30 years Bainbridge College has provided higher education to the residents of southwest Georgia. The College is among the fastest growing in the State of Georgia, enjoying a 52 percent increase in enrollment since Fall 2001.
The college’s campus is located on 173 acres (0.70 km²) of land just inside the city limits on U.S. Highway 84 East. The College is a community institution with no on-campus residence facilities. Students commute from the nearby towns of Attapulgus, Blakely, Brinson, Cairo, Camilla, Climax, Colquitt, Donalsonville, Iron City, Pelham, Thomasville, and Whigham. With the inclusion of Gadsden County to the College's service area, students from neighboring Florida communities also attend the College as in-state students.
It was established in 1970, and its doors opened in 1973. Dr. Edward Mobley was the first President. He served from the beginning of the college until 1999 when Dr. Clifford Brock took over. Dr. Thomas Wilkerson became President in 2005.
