To Current and Incoming Partners
In the College of Computing, we pride ourselves on the excellent education we provide our students. We teach them to work hard, think creatively, and focus on projects that make a difference. Our goal is to position them for exciting, rewarding careers with employers who value them.
As someone who worked in industry for 20 years before returning to academia, I deeply value the corporate partners who recruit our graduates. I’d like to say welcome to our new partners, and welcome back to those who have worked with us for many years. We look forward to helping you identify and match with students with the specific skills you need.
The College of Computing continues to climb the rankings. We currently sit at #6 in the nation for both undergraduate and graduate education. When you hire our students, they are technically and professionally prepared to make an immediate impact.
We are the largest computing program in the nation: 4,943 undergraduates and 22,381 students total. If you are looking for talent from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, Georgia Tech provides an excellent pool.
We will help you target the right candidates. One route is through Threads, the award-winning curriculum that lets our students pursue two computing specializations as undergraduates. In fact, we are launched a new Cybersecurity Thread in the summer of 2024. In other words, you can recruit students with specific skills and combinations of skills.
The College of Computing also hosts more than 20 clubs, including the new Supercomputing and Quantum Computing clubs, the Grey Hat Cybersecurity club, and affinity clubs like Women in Computing, the Black Student Computing Organization, and the Student Organization for Latinos in Computing. These organizations help us nurture and identify students with specific experiences and interests.
Our team will help you craft a recruiting strategy based on your company’s hiring objectives. The program offers three partnership tiers to match your company’s unique needs and recruitment goals. Designed for start-ups and companies new to recruiting at the College of Computing, The Buzz Tier allows businesses to begin building their brand on campus. As a member of this tier, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with students at signature events, creating visibility and laying the foundation for future recruitment efforts.
At the Ramblin’ Wreck level, companies can expand their presence on campus through participation in career preparation workshops, panel discussions, and various branding opportunities. Additionally, this level allows for
sponsorship of student-led projects through our Junior Capstone Design course, fostering deeper connections with our students and giving you direct access to the innovative minds shaping the future of computing.
The Tech Tower level offers the highest level of engagement, helping you cultivate a robust pipeline of future talent. As a member of this tier, your company gains access to over 20 student organizations, participates in our annual Hackathon, and has opportunities to develop specialized programming such as an innovation challenge or workshops focused on teaching industry-specific skills. This level is designed to build lasting relationships with top-tier students and position your company as a leader in the field.
We’ve renamed the Corporate Affiliate Partners Program to the Computing Affiliates Program to better reflect the broader range of organizations we work with, including nonprofits and government organizations, while continuing to prioritize the strong relationships and commitments we’ve built with our current corporate partners. We also have many opportunities for our partners to engage in strategic partnerships beyond CAP.
No matter what you choose, we are dedicated to helping you hire the talent you need. We look forward to working with you. n

World Class Academics
Georgia Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, based on the first-of-its-kind Thread curriculum, teaches you not only about technology but how to think about and apply technology to create real-world impact and tackle important societal problems.
The 9 Threads — 36 Possible Degrees
Each thread is associated with a set of introductory and specialized courses from computing and other fields.
Students select at least two threads to weave together a custom degree reflecting their own interests and realworld opportunities.
Theory: Defining the fundamental powers and limitations of computing, the theory and mathematics that underlie all of computer science.
Intelligence: Designing and implementing artifacts that exhibit various levels of intelligence, as well as understanding and modeling natural cognitive agents such as humans, ants or bees.
Information Internetworks: Capturing, representing, organizing, transforming, managing and presenting information securely and efficiently.
Systems and Architecture: Creating and evaluating computer architectures, systems and languages across a variety of paradigms and approaches.
People: The theoretical and computational foundations for designing, building and evaluating systems that treat the human as a central component.
Media: Understanding and developing the technical and computational capabilities of systems in order to exploit their abilities to provide creative outlets.
Modeling and Simulation: Expressing, specifying, creating, understanding and exploiting computational models that represent cognitive and physical processes.
Devices: Creating and evaluating computational artifacts that are embedded in physical objects and interact in the physical world, typically in real time.
Shaping the Future of Digital Media
Computational Media (CM) prepares you to participate in shaping the future of digital media for our society. Offered jointly by the College of Computing, the School of Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC), and the School of Music, this degree gives you multiple perspectives on the digital revolution.
Computer engineering (CompE) covers a broad set of areas, ranging from design of microprocessors to cloud computing and everything in between. Courses throughout the program, especially those in the junior and senior years, emphasize an open-ended, design-oriented approach to solving engineering problems.
The Computing Threads
Media: Understanding and developing the technical and computational capabilities of systems in order to exploit their abilities to provide creative outlets.
People: The theoretical and computational foundations for designing, building and evaluating systems that treat the human as a central component.
Intelligence: Designing and implementing artifacts that exhibit various levels of intelligence as well as understanding and modeling natural cognitive agents such as humans, ants or bees.
The LMC Threads
Interaction Design: Building and critically analyzing interactive systems for commerce, education, entertainment, social media and personal expression.
Film and Media: Studying the history and creating new forms of cinema, electronic media and performance art.
Games: Building and critically analyzing the broad and growing variety of videogame genres—everything from mainstream role-playing games to casual games, independent games, serious games and art games.
Music Technology Thread
Music Technology: Use technology to create and perform music; create new algorithms for music generation and analysis; conduct scientific experiments in music perception; and design and develop transformative music products.
New Thread: Cybersecurity & Privacy
The Cybersecurity & Privacy thread is where computing meets malicious actors who exploit it for nefarious purposes. This thread deals with securing computing systems against various kinds of threats. It instills a security mindset that focuses on threats people and systems may face, how their vulnerabilities may be exploited, and how to detect, prevent or mitigate attacks that target information systems. Students also learn how cybersecurity and privacy impact people, organizations and society. The student who pursues the Cybersecurity thread can combine it with other threads as follows:
n Information & Internetwork, to build and manage real-world networked systems that enable access to sensitive information securely. It can be combined with
n Systems & Architecture, to develop secure systems that resist, detect and mitigate attacks and respond to them.
n People, to build human-facing systems that function securely.
