The College of Computing and its five Schools — Computer Science, Interactive Computing, Computational Science and Engineering, Cybersecurity and Privacy, and Computing Instruction — push the boundaries of knowledge across the full breadth of modern computing. The College is a global leader in computing education through innovations such as its much-copied Threads curriculum for undergraduates and its Online Master of Science in Computer Science (OMSCS). OMSCS is the world’s first graduate degree program delivered through “massive online” platforms and is the largest master’s degree program in computer science in the nation. The College is home to multiple interdisciplinary research centers, including the GVU Center, the Algorithms and Randomness Center, the Center for Novel Research into Computing Hierarchies, the Center for Machine Learning, and the Constellations Center for Equity in Computing. College faculty lead several of Georgia Tech’s interdisciplinary research units devoted to such areas as cybersecurity, data science, and people and technology. More than 15,000 students are enrolled in the College, including 3,300 undergraduates and more than 12,000 residential and online graduate students.

The Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts prepares graduates to play a crucial role in solving the complex challenges facing our world. They merge globally and ethically informed perspectives with a focus on science and technology to address societal concerns and engender compassionate solutions to improve the human condition. Graduates from the College’s B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degree programs assume leadership roles in law, industry, government, education, and the nonprofit world. Named for former Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen Jr., the College is internationally recognized for curricula and research in fields such as science and technology policy; digital media and interactive game design; history and sociology of technology; international economics; national security; and modern languages and culture. The College is also home to Georgia Tech’s Army, Navy, and Air Force ROTC units. 

Unlike traditional art and design programs, the Georgia Tech College of Design focuses on technologies that enable better design. Then we use the design process to fuse technology with places, products, lifestyles, learning, and healthcare. 

Students and faculty in the Schools of Architecture, Building Construction, City and Regional Planning, Industrial Design, and Music develop interactive products, robots, instruments, buildings, environments, and digital experiences.

The College’s research initiatives encompass today’s most pressing human and built environment issues, from accessibility, sustainability, and smart cities to groundbreaking efforts in spatial analysis and music technology. More than 1,000 graduate and undergraduate students are enrolled in the College of Design. An additional 1,000 students from across campus — representing every major at Georgia Tech — enroll in music courses each semester. 

Established more than a century ago, the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business is a leader in education, research, and inclusive innovation designed to advance business and improve the human condition. Scheller is strategically positioned at the intersection of business and technology, with a commitment to cultivating ethical leaders who know how to innovate and leverage technology to address business challenges and opportunities in a tech-driven world.  

Scheller provides students with unparalleled learning opportunities within a dynamic innovation ecosystem. The College is located in the heart of midtown Atlanta’s Technology Square, an area with the highest density of startups, corporate innovators, and academic researchers in the southeastern U.S. Through top-ranked career services and an expansive alumni network, Scheller connects students to the world’s most innovative companies not just in Atlanta, but around the world.  

The College offers AACSB-accredited bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in business administration, along with interdisciplinary and dual degrees in computing, design, engineering, liberal arts, and medicine (in collaboration with the Morehouse School of Medicine). In addition to degreed programs, Scheller offers open enrollment and custom corporate executive education programs. The College is also home to nine globally recognized centers and initiatives, with focus areas in business analytics, ethics, international business, social impact, sustainability, and technology innovation.

The College of Sciences leads Georgia Tech’s charge to create a diverse and inclusive community that makes fundamental discoveries, addresses humanity’s most pressing challenges, and develops global leaders in science and technology. 

The College cultivates curiosity, encourages exploration, and fosters innovation to develop scientific solutions for a better society. Working across six internationally ranked Schools, faculty, staff, alumni, and students mentor one another to become bold, creative, collaborative leaders who push the frontiers of human knowledge, imagination, and innovation. 

Together, College of Sciences students and faculty advance both fundamental science and solution-based science, and they support the arc that connects these avenues of discovery. Toward this end, researchers undertake high-impact work in collaboration with world-class investigators in state-of-the-art facilities. 

Along with catalyzing discovery and solutions, and building communities of excellence in research and education, the College is focusing intently on convergent, team science that seeks to improve the health of the planet and people across the state of Georgia, our nation, and the world. 

College of Sciences graduates are well-honed in thinking critically, testing hypotheses, and engaging with others to unravel complex problems. They draw conclusions, reach decisions, and solve problems through the dynamic interplay of data, reason, and imagination. 

From exploring the quantum logic of ultracold atoms and the inner workings of the stars and nearby galaxies; to deciphering proofs of the billion-year history of Earth’s oceans and atmosphere; to investigating the origins of life throughout the cosmos; to identifying how brains and bodies work — College of Sciences students embody the value and impact of scientific curiosity shaped by careful mentoring and deep respect for how much we still must discover and understand.
