About COE Academic Programs
The College of Engineering at Georgia Tech offers an extensive number of courses in areas that are geared to varying engineering interests. For details on programs of study for each school, see the Georgia Tech catalog.
Certificate programs provide students an opportunity to broaden their areas of expertise or acquire skills or information beyond their major degree. For example, students interested in nanotechnology may obtain a certificate in nanotechnology and nanoscience. Those wishing to enhance their communication skills can take advantage of the COE Engineering Communications program.
Students also have the opportunity to complete their degrees in a number of engineering disciplines via our distance learning program. For more information on these programs and degrees go to: www.cdl.gatech.edu
Georgia Tech has elected not to have majors designated as premedicine, predentistry, or prelaw. This approach to Pre-Professional education has two major advantages. First, students who elect not to enter professional school upon graduation are prepared for alternative careers immediately. Second, students who do continue to professional school have backgrounds that often provide them with unique opportunities within their selected professions. Examples include medical research, development of medical devices and apparatus, patent law, or the legal aspects of design and construction.
