The Ivan Allen College prepares students to succeed in a technological world.
Georgia Tech's extraordinary interdisciplinary culture allows — and encourages — students to pursue courses, projects, and research across the College, as well as in other colleges and research units on campus.
Our undergraduate and graduate programs encompass traditional fields of study such as history, literature, poetry, language, philosophy, and sociology, but also unique and professional disciplines such as economics, public policy, political science, international affairs and security, environmental policy, computational and digital media, languages for business and technology, and pre-law.

Interdisciplinary Learning and Research
Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts provides students with knowledge and skills that enable them to work across technological and non-technological realms, define and solve complex problems, and develop tech savvy — abilities that, our alumni say, distinguish them among their professional peers. This is a challenging and exciting intellectual environment that helps students define themselves and shape their future.
Our students have the opportunity to:
- Work closely with faculty, all of whom teach, and many of whom engage in ground-breaking, interdisciplinary research
- Engage locally, nationally, and globally in research, internships, design, and service projects
- Explore complex problems, define their impact on society, culture, and policy, and innovate solutions to better our world
- Study in interdisciplinary environments focused on sustainability, international cultures, world-leading research, entrepreneurial innovation, and big data.
"Many of my professional peers are economics grads like myself, but what makes me different is the crossroads of liberal arts and technology that you can only find at Ivan Allen College. In the traditional sense, my understanding of macro and micro principles are shared amongst others. What gives me a competitive edge are the analytical abilities and coding skills that I also possess and apply to improve business processes."
— Whitney Miller, B.S. Economics '21
