Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I earn college credit for my professional education course?

In addition to CEUs, the professional education department offers more than forty Certificate programs. For more information on distance learning, please call 404.894.3378 or go to www.cdl.gatech.edu.

- Yes, through contract courses that can be designed and conducted exclusively for a company's specific needs. Among the many companies that have taken advantage of this service are Cable News Network, The Coca-Cola Co., AT&T, and Delta Air Lines. These courses often cost less and are designed to help businesses and organizations. For more information, contact Nelson Baker, Associate Vice Provost, at 404.894.9658.
- How do I balance the demands of the program with my career, my family life, and my personal needs?
- The Executive Education programs are designed specifically for professionals who do not wish to leave their full-time positions. Classes meet periodically according to the program to give students time to complete assignments and meet other obligations. However, enrollment in the program is a large undertaking and will compete with other demands. You should carefully consider your decision to apply after securing the support of your employer, family, and other people who you depend upon.
- I don't have the financial support of my employer. Can I still apply to the program? What type of financial assistance is available to program applicants?
- To apply for financial assistance, please contact the Office of Student Financial Planning and Services on campus at 404.894.4160, or visit www.finaid.gatech.edu. Please remember that you are responsible for securing your own financial resources to pay for all program costs. It is your responsibility to maintain your payments in good standing in order to continue your participation in the program without interruption.
