Testimonials
I love my professors and the faculty at Brenau. Everybody has an open door policy. It’s not just me, it’s the entire class. We feel like our professors are invested in our success.

Entry Level Master of Science in Nursing '22
Brenau has given me a more personal experience than if I decided to go to a bigger college. I know it’s cliche and is used a lot, but I feel like I wouldn’t be seen as much if I went somewhere else. I have a bigger chance of getting that experience.

Brenau has given me my closest friends and allowed me to reassure myself that I lived every moment in college, and I’m not even done yet. I feel like I have such a fulfilling purpose to serve me and to serve others.

Brenau’s College of Business & Communication has been renamed the Jacobs College of Business and Media to recognize the Jacobs family’s enduring legacy in the Brenau community and beyond. We are incredibly grateful for the Jacobs family’s continuous philanthropic support of Brenau and their active efforts in shaping the media landscape over the past 77 years.
“This gift will transform the college to enhance programs and provide support and expand opportunities for faculty and students,” Brenau President David L. Barnett, Ph.D., said. “John W. Jacobs Jr. was a pioneer in broadcasting in Gainesville, a long-time supporter of Brenau and a long-serving chair of our Board of Trustees. Jacobs Media Corporation and the Jacobs family have long partnered with Brenau’s business and communication programs, and this naming is a fitting way to honor their legacy to the university and the community.”

Last week, Brenau signed partnership agreements with two colleges to advance our mission to serve students and the community.
Brenau and @athenstechnicalcollege signed two agreements to help associate’s degree graduates pursue bachelor’s degrees at Brenau. Associate of Science in Nursing graduates can transition seamlessly into Brenau’s BSN program while Associate of Science in Health Information Management Technology graduates can easily continue to Brenau’s BBA in Healthcare Management.
@youngharriscollege and Brenau penned an affiliate agreement, giving Young Harris graduates and alumni preferred admission to Brenau’s graduate programs and a one-time scholarship.
We are excited to partner with these great institutions!
