Planning at Georgia Tech

Planners help the people who live in cities and urban areas to imagine better futures for themselves and to make those futures happen. With a technology-based approach, we teach you to craft processes and design places that lead to better communities.

Students take full advantage of the academic, social, and professional development resources here at Tech. The Institute's many research centers provide outstanding opportunities for in-depth research during graduate studies. The award-winning Student Planning Association (SPA) organizes a variety of social, academic, and community outreach events to enhance students' personal, educational, and professional development.

Our 1,600+ alumni share aspirations and a common past that draw them to each other and keep them regularly involved with SPA and school events. They are connected online through our LinkedIn group.
