There is no formal application for Georgia Tech-Lorraine at the graduate level. Masters and Ph.D students must apply to and be accepted by a graduate program in Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical & Computer Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, indicating "GT-Lorraine" as their campus of choice.
Incoming students apply via Georgia Tech's main campus in Atlanta, and after two semesters on the Lorraine campus, have the option to either complete their degree in France, or request a transfer to the Atlanta campus for their third semester. Students on the thesis track only can spend two semesters in Atlanta and will be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT).
If you are currently in an MS engineering program on the Atlanta campus (any major), you may spend a semester at Georgia Tech-Lorraine by simply requesting a change in campus from "Atlanta" to "Lorraine." Please refer to the Georgia Tech-Lorraine decision deadlines below.
