This pioneering European campus has been the go-to study abroad program for engineering students for over 25 years. We\u0026rsquo;ll let you in on a little secret\u0026hellip;Georgia Tech-Lorraine\u0026nbsp;is not just for engineers!\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile Georgia Tech-Lorraine has long offered a number of interesting electives, the program is expanding its offerings from Ivan Allen College so that more non-engineering students have the opportunity to spend a semester or more at Georgia Tech-Lorraine while staying on track toward their degree. Since Georgia Tech-Lorraine is a year-round campus, students can study there in Fall, Spring or Summer.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProfessor Vicki Birchfield from The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at Georgia Tech, is in residence at Georgia Tech-Lorraine for the next several years.\u0026nbsp; She teaches three different INTA courses at GTL, including INTA 2221, co-taught with Sonia Serafin, a full-time faculty member at GTL and a beloved French language instructor. Professor John Krige from the School of History and Sociology will be in residence in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018; he frequently teaches during the summer semester. \u0026nbsp;Professor Krige\u0026rsquo;s latest course offering is HTS 3080 History of Rocketry. Professor Tim Stoneman is another core faculty member who teaches HSOC courses at Georgia Tech-Lorraine full-time.\u0026nbsp; Global Economics and all levels of French round out the curriculum. With small class sizes, students will get to know these popular instructors. Georgia Tech-Lorraine students come away with an understanding of Europe and its place in the world that takes them beyond their own national and cultural context.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA number of Georgia Tech-Lorraine\u0026rsquo;s Ivan Allen College courses are travel and site-based. Courses such as INTA 2221 and HTS 2100 take learning outside the classroom and expose students to people and places beyond the Lorraine campus.\u0026nbsp; Students from Tim Stoneman\u0026rsquo;s HTS 2100 course recently travelled to BMW headquarters in Munich for a \u0026ldquo;BMW Exploration Day,\u0026rdquo; which included professional seminars, a VIP plant tour, and a talk on internship and employment opportunities.\u0026nbsp; Several students described the experience as the highlight of their time in Europe. It\u0026rsquo;s experiences like this that set Georgia Tech-Lorraine apart from other programs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhen talking about site-based course INTA 2221, one student remarked,\u0026nbsp; \u0026quot;All of the field trips for this class were very interesting and helpful at facilitating hands-on learning of the course material. It\u0026nbsp;really made me interested in the current events of the European Union and I will continue to follow European politics from the US.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EExpand your horizons and your global competencies.
