The demand in Tbilisi for a truly western University was so pronounced that despite the fact that at that time there were already two international business schools in operation, the interest in a program offering joint programs in Business and Law was substantial enough to move forward with the opening of a Business School and Law School at the Georgian American University in 2005.

In February 2005, a joint limited liability company of American and Georgian investors was formed. This dedicated group and its Board of Directors established financial and operational management standards which aligned with the strict international, ethical and educational standards necessary. This group of investors possessed a wide array of knowledge and experience such as: Experience with the United States, Georgian and International Law, Experience with the United States, Georgian and International Business, Banking, Finance and Management sectors, Public relations in Georgia and Internationally, Experience with the United States, Georgian and International education systems and Experience with the United States government.
