The curriculum expanded in 1843 to include law, and much later to include agriculture and mechanical arts. Through the years, sixteen colleges and schools were established within the UGA to provide programs in teaching, research and service. Today, the UGA is part of the University System of Georgia, and governed by the board of regents.
