What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

The College of Business places a large emphasis on the training and preparation for the job search process. This begins in the Freshman GT 1000 Business Section where students begin working on their resume, learning how to network, and thinking about their career goals. By the time students take the Career Course in junior year, most students have already had an internship/co-op and are learning how to land not just any job, but their dream job. Additionally, even with this strong emphasis on job placement, our career services still focuses not just on high salary, but rather finding a job that you are passionate about.

Georgia Tech does not have separate requirements for freshman international students. We do offer optional interviews for students from China, and it is quite possible we'll soon expand that offering to students from other countries, in an effort to enroll students who are not only academically excellent but also have the ability to contribute significantly to classroom discourse. In order to transfer to Georgia Tech, the standards for rigor, GPA and course requirements vary from freshman.
