Georgia Tech offers several interdisciplinary degrees in addition to those offered in each of the eight College of Engineering schools. These degree programs are offered by multiple home schools in the College (and sometimes outside the college).
Students in the interdisciplinary programs can work with faculty on projects outside traditional disciplinary boundaries and across different academic units, gaining unique educational and research experiences. Many of our interdisciplinary programs are long-standing and rank among the best in the nation and around the world.
Admission to these programs occurs by application through the eight College of Engineering schools, although the curriculum is administered by the interdisciplinary programs.

Our Interdisciplinary Programs
Analytics
The Master of Science in Analytics is a hybrid data science and analytics degree with a unique depth and breadth that covers a wide range of analytics and data science areas. At the same time, the curriculum offers the flexibility to design a program that matches your interests and goals. The program is offered on campus and online.
Bioengineering
Representing units from the Colleges of Engineering, Computing, and Sciences, the Bioengineering Ph.D. program enforces depth and breadth in coursework, provides a solid research experience, and is reflective of the disciplinary background of the student's home school.
Bioinformatics
The Bioinformatics programs prepare students to become leaders in bioinformatics and computational biology, merging life sciences, computer science, physical sciences, and engineering to solve fundamental and applied problems in biology and medicine. The program includes interdisciplinary doctoral and professional master's degrees.
Machine Learning
The Machine Learning Ph.D. program designed to educate students who advance the state of knowledge and practice in the field through innovative research contributions and integrate education and research to solve important real-world, data-intensive problems.
Computational Science and Engineering
The Computational Science and Engineering master's and doctoral programs are devoted to the study and application of computer-based models of natural and engineered systems. The programs are offered across the Colleges of Computing, Engineering, and Sciences.
Ocean Science and Engineering
The Ocean Science and Engineering Ph.D. program combines basic and applied sciences with innovative ocean technologies to advance interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of the physical, biological, chemical and human dimensions of ocean systems.
Robotics
The Robotics Ph.D. program is the first truly multidisciplinary robotics degree of its kind in the world, preparing a new generation of researchers to be impactful contributors. The Master of Science is designed to produce industry-ready engineers and scientists with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills for professional careers designing and developing robotics and automation solutions.
