Through study abroad, Georgia Tech strives to produce graduates who are globally competent, particularly in the context of their major. There are many engineering programs available abroad, including signature programs in Lorraine, France, and in Ireland for biomedical engineering.
Semester Study Abroad Programs
Semester-long programs are a popular way for Georgia Tech students to immerse themselves in another culture while taking care of major-related courses. Through faculty-led study abroad programs, students are taught by Tech faculty in English.
University exchange programs are coordinated with colleges and universities in other countries so Tech students can take classes with local students in English or the native language. In these programs, knowledge of the local language is often important.
Each of the College of Engineering’s majors offers preferred study abroad or exchange programs.
Among the advantages of an international experience is that for out-of-state students, it is often cheaper to study abroad than spend a semester in Atlanta. These students pay in-state tuition for the semesters they study abroad.
Georgia Tech's international programs are overseen by the Office of International Education.
