Excellent Liberal Arts Program

I am proud of be a member of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts at Georgia Tech. The college offers unique majors to students - such as Science, Technology and Culture (STAC) - that combine science and commerce to equip an individual for success in today's global community.

I major in Economics and International Affairs - a degree that combines my passion for foreign affairs as well as provides the practical, quantitative skills that make me marketable in the competitive job scene.

The curriculum is tailored to offer me a holistic education, including lab sciences and computer science courses, and as a result, I graduate with a unique Bachelors of Science degree. My degree requirements also include learning a modern language (I've chosen Arabic) and students are encouraged to study abroad in one or more of the multitude of campuses that Georgia Tech is affiliated with around the world. I plan to study in the Middle East this summer, to practice my Arabic skills, apply the knowledge I have acquired in my Foreign Policy classes, and enjoy the rich culture!

Job opportunities: with students as unique and ambitious as we are, employers welcome us with open arms!

Academics at Georgia Institute of Technology

Very rigorous academic curricula. Not for the weak-hearted. Many areas of special studies or research provided. Registration is pretty chaotic, but I wouldn't know how to do them another way. Professors are either hit or miss. Either they care all about there research and it's apparent that they would prefer to not be teaching, or they are very helpful and concerned about the progress and well being of the students. Very large workload. School=life here.

Good Professors

The professors, although sometimes preoccupied with research, are generally helpful and want to get their best students into internships and high places.
