GT1000: First-Year Seminar is a one-credit hour class designed to help incoming first-year students have a successful transition to the Georgia Tech campus and community. Classes are small and emphasize hands-on learning and discussion.

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.
