The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the nation’s top research universities, distinguished by its commitment to improving the human condition through advanced science and technology.
Georgia Tech’s campus occupies 330 acres in the heart of the vibrant, progressive city of Atlanta, where students receive a focused, technologically based education. The institute consistently ranks among U.S. News & World Report’s top ten public universities in the United States; it also consistently ranks as a top producer of African-American engineers. Georgia Tech, the home of the Yellow Jackets, is the No. 9 public university in the nation, according to rankings by U.S. News & World Report. Georgia Tech is an innovative intellectual environment with more than 900 full-time instructional faculty and more than 17,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The university is a national and international leader in scientific and technological research and education, receiving more than $355 million in research awards in fiscal 2005. In 2004, Georgia Tech helped attract more than $112 million in new capital investment and helped create or save more than 11,000 jobs statewide. Founded on October 13, 1885, the Georgia School of Technology opened its doors in October 1888 to eighty-four students. The school’s creation signaled the beginning of the transformation of the agrarian South to an industrial economy. During its first fifty years, Tech grew from a narrowly focused trade school to a regionally recognized technological university. In 1948, the school’s name was changed to the Georgia Institute of Technology to reflect a growing focus on advanced technological and scientific research. In recent years, Georgia Tech has been a national leader in managing the global transition from an industrial economy to an information economy. Throughout its long history, Georgia Tech has always focused its efforts on preparing students to use their innovative skills and strong work ethics to solve real-world problems and improve the lives of people around the globe. The institute offers many nationally recognized, top-ranked programs. Undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered in the Colleges of Architecture, Engineering, Sciences, Computing, Management, and the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts. Our students learn from world-class teachers and scholars working at the frontiers of science and technology. Georgia Tech researchers are developing new vaccines and cures for diseases, designing sophisticated new prosthetic limbs for land mine victims, studying development and transportation patterns to improve regional air quality, and providing policy leadership to reduce the global threat posed by weapons of mass destruction. In a world that increasingly turns to technology for solutions, Georgia Tech is using innovative teaching and advanced research to define the technological university of the 21st century.
