“Progress and Service.”
Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is one of the nation's top public research universities and a global leader in science, engineering, technology, and business. Founded in 1885, Georgia Tech has evolved from a trade school into a world-class institution at the forefront of technological innovation and research. Georgia Tech is consistently ranked among the top 5 engineering programs in the United States and in the world. The Scheller College of Business, the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, and the College of Computing are also highly regarded. The university's research expenditures rank among the highest of any institution in the United States, driving innovation in areas including robotics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and sustainable energy. Located in midtown Atlanta, Georgia Tech's campus sits at the heart of one of America's fastest-growing cities. The university has extraordinarily close ties to Atlanta's technology, healthcare, and finance industries, resulting in outstanding cooperative education (co-op) and internship programs. Georgia Tech's co-op program is one of the largest and most successful in the world, with students alternating between classroom study and professional work experience. Georgia Tech graduates are among the most sought-after in the engineering and technology industries. The university's alumni network is deeply connected to the technology sector, and its graduates start companies, lead research labs, and hold senior positions at the world's largest technology firms.
