The Graduate Program at the School of Modern Languages is redesigning humanities education for the 21st century. We emphasize essential skills like communication, leadership, and global expertise while providing advanced training in a high-impact language and region (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, or Spanish).
In our one-year M.S. in Global Media and Cultures and one-year M.S. in Applied Language and Intercultural Studies, students create a personalized professional portfolio through internships, research, media production, and study abroad. Our BS/MS program and doctoral minors offer these opportunities for current Georgia Tech undergraduates and PhD students. Join us to set yourself up for a successful career in international business, non-profit, media, social justice, education, and more.
