The College of Computing at Georgia Tech, established in 1990, is one of the earliest colleges of computing in the United States. Its roots lie in the 1964 establishment of the Information Science Division within the School of Information and Computer Science. Under the leadership of Peter Freeman, the founding dean, Georgia Tech revolutionized computing education by emphasizing interdisciplinary research, innovation, and public service. Notable developments include the establishment of the GVU Center and the Institute for Data Engineering and Science. The college’s interdisciplinary approach is evident in its diverse academic offerings, including programs in artificial intelligence, robotics, cybersecurity, human-computer interaction, and data science, designed to equip students with skills to address complex challenges at the intersection of computing and other disciplines. Over 12,000 alumni have graduated from the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. Georgia Tech remains committed to its ongoing evolution, striving to become one of the world’s leading computing institutions.
