Welcome from the Vice Provost

Georgia Tech has long been famous for its outstanding undergraduate programs in technical fields. Today undergraduate students at Georgia Tech can select from a rich array of programs and also augment the work in their chosen major with courses and out-of-class experiences in fields that fit their particular interests.

As a major research university, Georgia Tech offers classroom and research opportunities to undergraduates by professors who are actively engaged in the process of discovery and bring that excitement and knowledge to the students. Through its residence halls and its campus programs and organizations Georgia Tech offers students many options for exploring academic and social opportunities, gaining hands-on experience in their intended profession, and finding the support from fellow students and professional staff that will help them succeed in Tech's challenging academic environment. The benefits of attending a research university are complemented by a wide variety of support services to help insure academic success for undergraduates.

If you are a freshmen or a new student about to begin at Georgia Tech we have a video-intensive web site at www.success.gatech.edu that will connect you with students and faculty at Georgia Tech to let you know what your college career at GT will be like. The information that follows explains more about academic life for undergraduates at Georgia Tech and provides a gateway to the opportunities that await our students. Have fun exploring!
