Congratulations Parents!
Your student is considering or has been accepted to one of the top U.S. universities in the volume of and quality of research conducted. Georgia Tech has worked to build outstanding relationships that form an innovation ecosystem, utilizing research findings to create solutions to real-world problems through commercialization and technology transfer.
The application of research done here at Tech has helped to advance pharmaceutical, medical, and other health-related technology beyond the scope of many of our imaginations, not to mention the countless other fields of scientific inquiry. This is why we care so deeply for, and have set our roots in the areas of pre-health and undergraduate research.
Here in Explore, we encourage and support imagination as our students find their passions, interests, and strengths throughout their first semester at Tech.
We know that our students would not be as wonderful as they are without your support. Be sure to email us at ExploreLLC@cos.gatech.edu if you have questions or would like more information about Explore.

All admitted students can apply via their admission portal.
College of Sciences students will receive an automatic invitation on April 6th to the Explore living learning community. This automatic invitation is exclusive to students majoring in the College of Sciences.
What makes a Living Learning Community special?
Living Learning Communities are an academic strategy that link academics to on-campus living. Each Georgia Tech community is an integrated experience that promotes interactions between faculty and students, fosters collaboration among students, enhances campus and civic engagement, and eases both the academic and social transition to college. Each LLC at Tech offers a different focus, but we all have required academic coursework, a first year living requirement, and the option to continue living with members of the community in nearby apartments as upper-level students.
