Developing Study Abroad Programs
Georgia Tech strongly encourages and supports student participation in study abroad programs. Faculty are integral to developing, and leading successful international opportunities for our students. Study abroad program proposals are reviewed and approved by the Institute’s Graduate and Undergraduate Study Abroad Sub-Committee. Students participating in co-curricular and non-formal international experiences should also work with OIE to register their travel.
Georgia Tech faculty interested in developing faculty-led study abroad programs or leading students abroad may contact Lorie Páulez, Director of Education Abroad, for information about the process and for sample documents.
