The International Plan allows participants to take a global perspective on their education. It is a challenging and coherent academic, undergraduate program intended to develop global competence within the context of the participating student's major. It integrates internationally-related studies as well as experience abroad into the current programs of study for those GT majors that participate. Furthermore, the International Plan uses existing study/work/research abroad opportunities made available through the Office of International Education, the Division of Professional Practice and the Office of Undergraduate Research to fulfill its requirements. Interested students have all of the resources necessary at their disposal to succeed in this program.

For those students accepted into the IP, participating majors provide a curriculum path toward earning a degree in which the goal of developing one’s global competence can be thought of as an umbrella over the current program of study. It is not intended to add time to the overall course of study. Upon completion of the requirements, the diploma and transcripts will include the degree name earned along with the designator “International Plan” indicating to the world-at-large a uniquely international attitude toward earning a degree at Georgia Tech.

Not all GT majors are in the International Plan. A list of currently participating majors is available on this website as are the program requirements and the application. We encourage students to apply as soon as possible.
