Georgia Institute of Technology College of Design 180 courses 122 total credits
Georgia Tech’s newest degree brings together creative arts, technology, and entrepreneurship in a bold, future focused program designed for students who want to imagine, design, and build what comes next. We believe artistic practice and STEM are equally essential. Our major combines creative expression with technical innovation through a curriculum that values intellectual diversity, critical thinking, and courageous ideas. Students learn to move fluently between disciplines, developing both the creative voice and the analytical rigor needed to address complex real world challenges. The program emphasizes hands on, industry relevant learning from the start. Students build a strong foundation in arts and technology while working in studios, labs, and project based environments led by accomplished practitioners. Our curriculum weaves experiential learning, collaboration, and entrepreneurial thinking throughout, so graduates leave with practical skills, professional portfolios, and the confidence to pursue careers across creative industries, emerging technologies, and their own ventures. Deeply connected to local and global arts organizations and creative industry partners, the major prepares students to engage meaningfully beyond campus and to lead at the intersections of culture, technology, and innovation. It complements Georgia Tech’s long standing strengths by expanding how creativity and artistic practice are experienced across the Institute, encouraging new forms of collaboration among students and faculty from many disciplines. As graduates carry this integrated approach into professional and creative communities, they exemplify Georgia Tech’s reputation as a place where technical excellence and creative inquiry advance together.
