During this time, the school was divided into two divisions: Georgia Evening College, and Atlanta Junior College. In September 1947, the school became affiliated with the University of Georgia and was named the Atlanta Division of the University of Georgia. The school was later removed from the University of Georgia in 1955 and became the Georgia State College of Business Administration. In 1961, other programs at the school had grown large enough that the name was shortened to Georgia State College. It became Georgia State University in 1969. In 1995, the Georgia Board of Regents accorded Georgia State "research university" status, joining the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Georgia, and the Georgia Regents University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.usg.edu/inst/mission/category/research_universities )〕 The center of campus is less than a half-mile from CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park, Philips Arena and the Georgia Dome.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gsu.edu/gsu_atlanta.html )〕 The first African-American student enrolled at Georgia State in 1962, a year after the integration of the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech.
