Anchored by its main campus of 61 acres (25 ha) near downtown Atlanta, the college has a variety of residential dorms and academic buildings east of Ashview Heights. Along with Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University, Morris Brown College, and the Morehouse School of Medicine, the college is a member of the Atlanta University Center consortium.
