Known as party school.

RE:
What majors is the University of Georgia most known for?
Specifically how is their Sports Studies program?

The Ramsey Center is the student recreational and athletic facility located on East Campus at the University of Georgia. The Ramsey Center is one of the largest student athletic/recreation facilities in the United States. The campus’s eight-acre Ramsey Student Center for Physical Activities has 5 gyms, 3 pools, a 44-feet-high climbing wall, 10 racquetball courts, and 11,500 square feet of weight-training space. Students make over 1.2 million trips to “Ramsey” each year.[19] This $40 million structure was named by Sports Illustrated as the best recreational sports facility in the country

The University of Georgia’s sports teams are called the Bulldogs, and they participate in the NCAA’s Division I-A as a member of the Southeastern Conference. Since the 1997-1998 season, UGA has seven top ten rankings in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Director’s Cup, a numerical ranking based on the success of universities in all varsity sports.[1] The University has won national championships in football, women’s gymnastics, baseball,tennis (men’s and women’s), golf (men’s and women’s), women’s swimming and diving, and women’s equestrian. The Gym Dogs, the University’s women’s gymnastics team, are the current defending NCAA champions (having placed first in the 2005, 2006, and 2007 seasons).

The Bulldogs’ most historic rivalry is with Auburn, referred to as the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” in reference to the first football game played between the two teams in 1892 and the more than one hundred meetings since. For the vast majority of the 20th century, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets were unquestionably UGA’s biggest rival (the two schools are a mere 70 miles apart). That rivalry, officially for the Governor’s Cup trophy, is nicknamed Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, after the book of the same name by author Bill Cromartie. However, the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s witnessed a growing rivalry with the Florida Gators that many would say is currently UGA’s fiercest. Georgia leads the series, known widely as The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, with an all-time record of 50-36-2 against the Gators, but have only won 2 of the last 15 meetings.

The University also boasts several non-varsity sports, including wrestling, men’s and womens’s crew, rugby, lacrosse, and ice hockey. Both the men’s and women’s crews have won national championships in the historic Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia, PA. The Dad Vail Regatta is the largest collegiate regatta in the United States. The Georgia hockey team has won the Thrasher Cup four times in the previous eight years as of 2006. Several Varsity sports are duplicated with non-varsity teams, such as women’s tennis.

Most recently, many have acclaimed UGA’s athletic program for implementing a program that fines student-athletes for unexcused absences in class. And, for the first time in school history, more than 50% of student-athlete GPAs were over 3.00. In addition, many other universities are looking to UGA’s plan as a model.
