Student services
The mission of the International Education Center (IEC), in reflection of Savannah State University's mission, encompassing a global societal mission through student centered engagement and faculty/staff interaction. The center promotes internationalization of curriculum through enhanced study abroad programming, international student recruitment, international faculty/staff support, and community outreach.

Campus life
The 201-acre campus is by far the most picturesque in the state of Georgia. The moss-laden sweeping oak trees, expansive marsh and historic architecture create a resplendent yet tranquil atmosphere. Beneath the beauty and splendor is a vibrant residential campus bursting at the seams with the vim and vigor of quality collegiate life: relevant academic majors, engaging lectures, cutting-edge research, quality student-faculty engagement and a nurturing environment. We invite you to become a part of the SSU family.
Sports facilities
The office of University Recreation and Wellness Programs (URW) is a vital piece to the overall mission of Savannah State University (SSU). With the lack of physical fitness classes on campus URW fills that needed void. URW's mission is to educate students, faculty & staff on the importance of wellness awareness by enhancing existing wellness activities and programs, implementing and creating new wellness activities on and off campus, and by challenging and encouraging campus leadership to actively get involved.
Student clubs
There are over 70 student organizations here at the University. We encourage you to become a part of one or more because we know that campus involvement contributes to academic and personal success. These associations encourage independence and development or critical thinking skills and overall sense of connection to Savannah State University and other students.
