altvid = course normally offered via video/internet in alternate years; not offered via
NOTE: Cross-listed courses (for satisfying MS and PhD domain requirements) are listed under
multiple Technical Interest Areas
The following table lists the ECE graduate courses currently projected to be offered at the
Atlanta campus and through the video/internet distance education program. Classes taught at
GT-Lorraine, GT-Shenzhen, or as part of study abroad programs are not listed.
The projected schedule of classes is normally updated each year during summer semester. The
projected schedule for the coming year (2023-24) is fairly certain; changes will be reflected in
the registration schedule for each term. The projected schedule for 2024-25 is preliminary and
is likely to be modified significantly in summer 2024.
Additionally, summer schedules are subject to changes in student enrollment, budgets, and/or
faculty availability. Summer graduate electives will be offered as faculty and resources are
available, but there is no guarantee that any graduate electives will be offered in future summer
terms. There are no current plans to offer graduate electives in Atlanta during future summer
terms.
