In today’s global economy, Georgia Tech-Lorraine plays a key role in achieving one of the objectives of the Institute as defined in its strategic plan, “Georgia Tech must prepare our students for a long-term commitment in an international context. Georgia Tech education should provide a greater awareness and appreciation of the wide range of differences in languages, cultures and customs. ” More than 2,000 undergraduate and graduate spent a semester or more on the Metz campus to enrich their learning as part of a global perspective.
