The Georgia Institute of Technology—universally known as “Georgia Tech”—is located in the metropolitan Atlantic area where it enjoys beautiful weather, contact with over six million people, proximity to major businesses like Coca Cola and AT&T, one of the world’s largest airports, and the federal Centers for Disease Control.
Over 21,000 students attend this Georgia Tech every year. The school advances science in over 100 centers focused on interdisciplinary research.
More than 1,000 full-time faculty with doctorates work here, and the institute’s library holds over a million titles.
Famous alumni include U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Georgia Senator Sam Nunn, Master’s tournament founder Bobby Jones, and Walmart CEO Mike Duke.
The school has produced two Nobel Laureates and over 20 graduates associated with NASA.
Georgia Tech’s endowment surpasses $1.7 billion, which is why it can afford a reasonable 18:1 student-to-faculty ratio despite its copious research. The university maintains five satellite campuses, including ones in China, France, and Ireland.
