For the 2024-25 academic year, Georgia Tech sent 2,576 students abroad, marking a 9.5% increase from the previous year and setting an Institute record for student participation in international programs.

“Student success is at the heart of our mission, and this new enrollment record underscores the collaborative efforts of the Institute to promote global learning,” said Lorie Johns Páulez, director of Education Abroad.

Today, Georgia Tech runs more than 125 programs in more than 50 countries, which contribute to 47% of all Georgia Tech undergraduates having an international experience by the time they graduate. An array of programs supports global learning, including the First-Year Semester Abroad, Global Research and Internship programs, Faculty-Led Study Abroad programs, Georgia Tech-Europe, and exchange programs with international partner institutions.

“Global learning experiences prepare Georgia Tech students to adapt, communicate across cultures, and approach complex problems with resilience,” said Bernard Kippelen, vice provost of International Initiatives. “These experiences empower them to use technology in ways that advance the human condition and prepare them to be leaders.”

On June 30 in Metz, Georgia Tech President Ángel Cabrera joined Metz Mayor François Grosdidier and regional leaders to celebrate Georgia Tech-Europe’s role as a hub for international learning and collaboration and to announce plans to expand capacity to serve more students. The City of Metz announced the generous transfer of the property currently occupied to Georgia Tech-Europe for the sale of 1 euro. The event highlighted the enduring partnership between Georgia Tech and the City of Metz, as well as the program’s importance to both the Institute’s strategic plan and the transatlantic relationship between France and the United States. 

As part of the June commemoration, Georgia Tech signed new Memorandums of Understanding with the University of North Georgia and Universidad Pontificia Comillas to enable more students to study at Georgia Tech-Europe. This collaboration opens doors for more students across the University System of Georgia to benefit from international learning experiences in Metz.

Then, on Aug. 27, Georgia Tech-Europe brought together Georgia Tech students, faculty, and local partners to honor the past and look toward the future. 

“This anniversary is not only a chance to celebrate what Georgia Tech-Europe has accomplished over the past 35 years, but also to build on that foundation,” said Cabrera. “Thousands of Georgia Tech students have grown as global leaders here, and we’re committed to expanding those opportunities to many more.” 

Founded in 1990, Georgia Tech-Europe (previously known as Georgia Tech-Lorraine) has become the flagship of the Institute’s international initiatives and a vital part of its strategic plan. Since its opening, more than 13,000 students have participated in programs at the Metz campus. In 2021, a cohort of 50 students was the first to participate in the First-Year Semester Abroad program, beginning their Georgia Tech careers at the European campus. 

“Georgia Tech-Europe has grown into a model of international education and collaboration,” said Abdallah Ougazzaden, president of Georgia Tech-Europe. “Over the past 35 years, we have built lasting partnerships and created unique opportunities for students that connect Georgia Tech with Europe and beyond. As we enter this new chapter, our focus remains on enriching the student experience and strengthening our role as a bridge between cultures, institutions, and industries.”

Looking ahead, Georgia Tech aims to expand the number of students who take advantage of these opportunities — preparing graduates with the global perspective needed to lead in a connected world.

Georgia Tech-Europe has also played a vital role in the region, contributing to the local economy and fostering strong academic partnerships with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, the University of Lorraine, and leading engineering schools such as CentraleSupélec and École d'ingénieurs française. 

Students who are interested in going global throughout their career at Tech should consider enrolling in one of OIE’s discipline-specific sections of GT1000. The class prepares students for their time at Tech and an OIE discipline-specific section of GT1000 augments this education with an international focus.
