Students and faculty during Open House

Plan Your Visit

It's especially helpful for prospective students and applicants to dive deeper and get to know our School and programs outside of our website. Joining an information session or attending an open house means you can meet our faculty, staff, and current students. There is no better way to get an idea of what it's like to be a student here at the School of City & Regional Planning!

How to Learn More

Every application cycle we host a series of information sessions for prospective master and doctoral students. Our annual Spring Open House for Admitted Students takes place every spring, and we encourage accepted students to join us for the day.

If you are unable to attend a virtual information session or Fall Open House, and cannot find an answer to your specific question online, we recommend reaching out to our office.

The City & Regional Planning Offices are located in the East Architecture Building, Suite 204. The main Architecture buildings are located in the heart of the Georgia Tech campus. The two-story brick East Architecture Building is the first academic building west of the fraternities on the north side of Fourth Street.
