Focus: providing students with the practical skills and theoretical understanding they need to become experts in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of models used by the financial sector to structure transactions, manage risk, and construct investment strategies.
The mission of the Georgia Tech PhD program in Quantitative BioSciences (QBioS) is to enable the discovery of scientific principles underlying the dynamics, structure, and function of living systems. The QBioS program is designed to provide PhD graduates with the skills and expert knowledge necessary to move directly into academia, industry and/or government, where they can apply their specific domain expertise and broadly relevant modeling tools.
Focus: advancing knowledge and research in science and technology policy, environmental and energy policy, and urban and regional economic development policy.
Focus: examining areas in which either the consequences of scientific and technological activity have significant public policy implications, or technical and scientific information is a significant input to the policy-making process.
This program combines a Bachelor of Science in Public Policy with a Master of Science in Public Policy. Students who want to pursue this five-year BS/MS combination must apply to the Sam Nunn School of Public Policy after completing at least 45 credit hours of work towards the bachelor's degree in Public Policy.
The Bachelor of Science in Public Policy degree program combines political, social, economic and ethical approaches with practical problem solving in a technology-infused environment.
An important part of the undergraduate degree program in Public Policy is to learn how to navigate among the many disciplines that are used to shape strategic decisions.
The Bachelor of Science in Public Policy provides strong analytical, communication, management, and leadership skills to students seeking careers in public service, law, and the private sector.
There are many interfaces between the realm of public policy and nearly every program of study at Georgia Tech. Engineering, the sciences, management, architecture, computing, and the liberal arts are impacted by – and affect – the decisions made by governments.
The Minor in Public Policy allows students to develop the multidisciplinary thinking skills that are needed for strategic decision making in business and technical professions as well as law and public policy.
The Doctoral in Psychology program provides the student with specialized coursework and opportunities for research in:
Each curriculum includes individualized study and research with a strong foundation in general experimental psychology as a basis for this specialization.
Focus: advancing study and research in areas such as cognition and brain science, cognitive aging, engineering psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, and quantitative psychology.
In addition to its state-of-the-art laboratories, Georgia Tech’s undergraduate psychology degree program offers several key advantages:
