Georgia Tech is a top-ranked public research university situated in the heart of Atlanta, a diverse and vibrant city with numerous economic and cultural strengths. The Institute serves more than 45,000 students through top-ranked undergraduate, graduate, and executive programs in engineering, computing, science, business, design, and liberal arts. Georgia Tech's faculty attracted more than $1.4 billion in research awards this past year in fields ranging from biomedical technology to artificial intelligence, energy, sustainability, semiconductors, neuroscience, and national security. Georgia Tech ranks among the nation's top 20 universities for research and development spending and No. 1 among institutions without a medical school.

Georgia Tech's Mission and Values

Georgia Tech's mission is to develop leaders who advance technology and improve the human condition. The Institute has nine key values that are foundational to everything we do:

Students are our top priority.
We strive for excellence.
We thrive on diversity.
We celebrate collaboration.
We champion innovation.
We safeguard freedom of inquiry and expression.
We nurture the wellbeing of our community.
We act ethically.
We are responsible stewards.

Over the next decade, Georgia Tech will become an example of inclusive innovation, a leading technological research university of unmatched scale, relentlessly committed to serving the public good; breaking new ground in addressing the biggest local, national, and global challenges and opportunities of our time; making technology broadly accessible; and developing exceptional, principled leaders from all backgrounds ready to produce novel ideas and create solutions with real human impact.

About the School of Arts, Entertainment, and Creative Technologies

This newly launched school will further position Georgia Tech as an international leader in research, education, and community and industry engagement at the intersection of arts, technology, and design. The school's pedagogical approach will integrate artistic foundations, technical innovation, and creative entrepreneurship. The school will leverage Georgia Tech's existing strengths in areas ranging from artificial intelligence and student startups to digital media and music technology, adopt the culture of practice-based studio pedagogy in the College of Design, and build sustained partnerships with creative studios, technology providers, startup companies, nonprofits, and artists-in-residence taking advantage of Atlanta's thriving creative ecosystem.

The school will be piloting courses in Spring 25 and launch the B.S. in Arts, Entertainment, and Creative Technologies in Fall 2026 for both incoming students as well as transfer students. This degree aims to prepare students to enter fields such as film, gaming, immersive media and art works that integrate new technologies and computational advances, at a time in which emerging technologies are rapidly transforming art and related industries nationally and internationally. At Georgia Tech, we seek to develop the next generation of leaders that will guide that transformation as we support the workforce needs and continued growth of the creative economy in Georgia.

The Arts at Georgia Tech

The launch of this new school is a critical part of Georgia Tech's broader strategic plan for growing the arts across the Institute. Georgia Tech recognizes the role of the visual and performing arts in cultivating creative thinking, the increasingly important role that emerging technologies play in the arts, and the potential for Georgia Tech to support a thriving campus arts community in connection with a growing ecosystem of arts organizations and creative industries throughout the state. Georgia Tech has also announced plans for the Creative Quarter, a 7-acre innovation district that will foster collaborations, inspire innovation, and build community through arts, creativity, and technology.

Georgia Tech prides itself on its technological resources, collaborations, high-quality student body, and its commitment to building an outstanding and diverse community of learning, discovery, and creation. We strongly encourage applicants whose values align with our institutional values, as outlined in our Strategic Plan. These values include academic excellence, thought and experience, inquiry and innovation, collaboration and community, and ethical behavior and stewardship. Georgia Tech has policies to promote a healthy work-life balance and is aware that attracting faculty may require meeting the needs of two careers.
