University Press

The University of North Georgia (UNG) Press, a scholarly, peer-reviewed press, is an extension of our sponsoring university, the University of North Georgia. Our primary function is to promote education and research with a special emphasis on innovative scholarship and pedagogy. Through our partnership with the University System of Georgia (USG), Affordable Learning Georgia (ALG), and eCore, the UNG Press is the leading university press in the state for Open Educational Resources (OER) and Open Textbooks.

Our structure comprises an advisory and a faculty board with scholars across all disciplines. Board members serve a two-year term. Our partnership with UNG provides a service-learning environment for students to gain real life experiences in publishing and marketing. These learning opportunities comprise (1) course work tied to UNG Press projects, and (2) internships. Students are immersed in actual book production, from acquisitions to editing to layout and design.
