Vision

Can you help make our vision a reality?

Georgia Tech has been shaped by the work of generations to become one of the nation’s most prominent public universities. Our success is the result of our willingness to grow and adapt to the challenges and changing circumstances at each stage of our development. Founded in 1885 to help build Georgia’s technological infrastructure, Georgia Tech exceeded the expectations of its founders, becoming a multi-faceted research university that serves as a source of new technologies and a driver of economic development not only for Georgia, but also for the nation and the world.

Our goal is not to simply be one of those universities, but to create a model for future success in academia. We want to be a leader among the world’s best technological universities. Our vision is bold: "Georgia Tech will define the technological research university of the 21st century and educate the leaders of a technologically driven world."

While Tech is increasingly internationally recognized for its innovative spirit and outstanding programs, it is clearly understood that it will take the best people to innovate, take risks, and develop the programs that will achieve the Georgia Tech vision. Can you help make our vision a reality?
