International Education
Georgia Tech offers more than 80 exchange programs and more than 50 programs led by its own faculty, sending 1500+ students abroad each year. All students in the School of Architecture are encouraged to study abroad. Undergraduates should also consider participating in Georgia Tech's International Plan, a program designed to prepare graduates professionally and personally for successful lives in the global environment of the twenty-first century.
Architecture Undergraduate International Studio
The Architecture Undergraduate International Studio provides undergraduate architecture majors with a faculty-led, studio-centered, summer semester in Berlin, an exciting design-oriented destination, where, to a large degree, the city is the classroom.
GT Exchange Program
The GT Exchange Program urges its majors to consider a truly immersive experience studying at an institution abroad for either a semester (ideally, the spring semester of junior year) or a year. In addition to or as an alternative to participation in a Georgia Tech faculty-led program, enrollment in a foreign university brings with it greater exposure to another culture, more foreign language practice, and the opportunity to build confidence living and working in another country.
Greece-Italy Study Abroad Program
The Greece-Italy Study Abroad Program was initiated over thirty years ago in Italy and 20 years ago in Greece. Since 1993, Georgia Tech’s Architectonics in Greece and Italy program has introduced works of art and architecture from the Classical Greek, Roman, Renaissance and Baroque world to undergraduate and graduate students from all over the Institute. The program is open to all majors; taught entirely on-site with no classrooms; takes place over seven weeks of travel throughout Greece and Italy; and covers four courses in the History of Art and Architecture for twelve semester credit hours.
Tokyo Smart City Studio
The Tokyo Smart City Studio investigates one of Tokyo’s central city redevelopment sites. The project aims to develop a smart and ecologically sound community as a pilot project to demonstrate how a smart urban community is designed, evaluated, and implemented in Japan by incorporating experts and stakeholders in the areas of urban design and modeling, urban analytics for big data, IoT (Internet of Things) technology, smart home, smart mobility, eco urban performance evaluation, and green finance industry.
