International Studies
Education abroad allows our students to pursue their professional and personal goals while having the adventure of a lifetime. Students in our programs learn to work with diverse groups, adapt to different cultures, and even hone their language skills, which are all competencies employers look for.
Whether you go abroad for a summer, a semester or a a year, you will come back with new skills, insights, and confidence. If you have questions, please contact Cynthia Tatis.
Summer Programs for Undergraduates
The College of Computing administers three summer programs for undergraduates, one in Barcelona, one in Berlin, and an embedded program in Atlanta and Mumbai. All are technology capitals of their countries, as well as cities with deep histories and exciting, diverse cultures. More information about the Mumbai program coming soon.
Summer Program in Barcelona
Barcelona, one of Europe’s oldest metropolitan areas and a chief Mediterranean port, sits on Spain’s southern coast 90 miles from the French border. The city is a center of Spanish and Catalan culture and has been called the “Paris of Spain.” With its mountainous surroundings and gorgeous view of the sea, Barcelona makes for not only a rich gateway into European culture and history, but a beautiful locale for study and adventure—a great place to spend a summer!
Summer Program in Berlin
The Berlin Summer Program provides undergraduate students of all disciplines with an opportunity to spend 11 weeks in a high-tech city while earning 12 hours of GT credit with GT faculty. This is the newest program created by the College of Computing due to meeting an increasing need for Computing students wishing to study abroad!
Mumbai
The Technology Design and Ethics India embedded program lasts for six weeks, with four weeks of instruction in Atlanta and two weeks of instruction in Mumbai.The program offers foundational Georgia Tech computing courses that will expose students to culturally situated approaches to equitable innovation, design and technology, and will connect courses to the local context of Mumbai.
International Certification or Designation for Undergraduates
Most students take a foreign language, and many study abroad. Make yourself stand out from others by gaining a Certification or Degree Designation that documents for employers that you work well in diverse groups, adapt quickly to new cultures, and are ready to contribute to global expansion efforts.
Students planning to earn foreign language credit and study abroad may consider completing a Global Engagement Certificate. Planning to study abroad more than once? Find out more about the International Plan, a cohesive program that puts together your international experiences and earns a special degree designation.
