GEORGIA TECH'S FOCUS PROGRAM
Continue Your Journey to Success
Georgia Tech launched the FOCUS recruiting program in 1992 with the goal of increasing the number of master's and doctoral degrees awarded to minorities not only at Georgia Tech, but also nationwide.

FOCUS lays the groundwork for achieving this goal by bringing together minority undergraduates and high school students to meet with faculty, graduate students, alumni, and speakers from the corporate and government arenas. These experiences are designed to demonstrate to minority students how a graduate degree in science or technology can open the door to a life-changing career in academia, industry, or government.
During FOCUS weekend, participants visit classrooms and research labs in their area of interest and talk with the students and faculty who live the Georgia Tech experience every day. Participants can also get information about the process of applying to graduate school and securing funding sources, and visit historical and cultural sites in Atlanta.
As the only technologically focused institution listed among the nation's top ten public universities (U.S. News & World Report), Georgia Tech can offer a graduate education of the very highest caliber. Even if you ultimately choose not to attend Georgia Tech, we hope that you will participate in FOCUS and be inspired to pursue a graduate degree. When you realize your dream of becoming a leader in science and technology, then we at FOCUS will have achieved our goal.
