The College of Lifetime Learning is unique in its dual mission to assist individuals in preparing and adapting throughout their lives and cultivate future leaders in lifetime learning who will make a positive impact on education, communities, and business.
Launched on September 5, 2024, the College comprises three core units — the Center for 21st Century Universities (C21U), the Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing (CEISMC), and Georgia Tech Professional Education (GTPE.) We are also at the Georgia Tech Savannah campus, where programs are designed to help Georgia's coastal region grow and excel.
The College will grant undergraduate and graduate degrees and offer non-credit credentials. The academic programs will integrate research findings from those engaged in the College’s work. These programs will be at the intersection of:
- technology and its application to enhance, improve, and make learning accessible;
- learning sciences as we incorporate how people relate to and utilize technology;
- and business/policy models that interrogate and expand formal education structures.
We are committed to using education, research, and services to address education and learning access challenges. To transform the learning ecosystem, we seek to study the learning process throughout a person's lifetime as it is impacted by technology, economics, policy, geography, and the rapidly changing workforce.
The College of Lifetime Learning strives to enable quality education that is accessible, affordable, transformational, and achievable for learners at all stages of life.
