Where to Find Academics and Admissions Information on the Georgia Tech Website
Updated
The Georgia Tech website (gatech.edu) organizes its academic and admissions content under a main navigation section labeled "Academics and Admissions." This is the entry point for prospective students exploring degree programs and application pathways, and for anyone seeking an overview of what the Institute offers. The same main navigation also includes a "Campus News" section for current updates.
What the "Academics and Admissions" Section Covers
Based on the site's navigation structure, this section serves two connected purposes:
- Academics — an overview of Georgia Tech's programs and fields of study, so you can see what the university teaches before deciding whether to apply.
- Admissions — the pathways into the Institute, so prospective students can understand how to apply rather than hunting through scattered pages.
Because both topics sit under one navigation label, you do not need separate entry points: start here whether your question is "What can I study?" or "How do I apply?"
How to Use It
- Open gatech.edu.
- Locate the main navigation menu (the site presents it as "Main navigation" in its page structure).
- Select "Academics and Admissions."
- From there, follow the links toward the program or application information you need.
Expected result: you land in the part of the site dedicated to academic offerings and admissions, rather than general university news or administrative content.
Checking for Current Updates
If you want news about the Institute — announcements, campus developments, or time-sensitive information — use the "Campus News" link in the same main navigation. This is separate from the academics and admissions content, so treat it as your source for what is happening now rather than for program or application details.
Common Sticking Points
- Looking in the wrong menu. The site has several navigation areas (including a user account menu). Academics and admissions information lives under the main navigation, not the account menu.
- Expecting prices or deadlines on the homepage. The homepage is a welcome and navigation layer; specific program and application details are reached through the Academics and Admissions section.
- Confusing news with admissions. Campus News covers updates, not application guidance. Use each for its own purpose.
