Georgia Tech has received recognition for its study abroad programs, overseas campuses and research centers, international distance learning and the integration of international programs into all undergraduate majors.
Georgia Tech received the Sen. Paul Simon Award sponsored by the Association of International Educators.
The university's two main initiatives for internationalizing the campus are the International Plan that integrates international education into all undergraduate degrees and programs for conducting research and offering degrees outside of the United States.
Georgia Tech's Lorraine campus in Metz, France, has been offering graduate education for European students and study abroad opportunities for Atlanta-based students for more than 15 years. Georgia Tech has also established the Logistics Institute Asia Pacific in Singapore, which offers a Georgia Tech master's degree to students from Asia. The Georgia Tech Research Institute recently established Georgia Tech's first international research center in Ireland.
Georgia Tech, Calvin College, Elon University and the University of Oklahoma will be featured in the report, "Internationalizing the Campus 2007: Profiles of Success at Colleges and Universities," to be published this fall.
