Many are hired prior to graduation. 52% graduate with an international experience which may involve a co-op or internship. Admission is quite competitive.

Admissions looks for engaged students in the community who they believe will be excellent GT fits. 60% of the admitted class is reserved for Georgians, 10% international students, and 30% of the class is out of state. Students are admitted to the Institute, not to a major. Very few merit scholarships are available. Out of state tuition runs at $33,000 compared to $12,400 in state. In May 2020, a brand new Campus Center will open!
