The Office of Experiential and Engaged Learning (E2L) is the consolidation of Georgia Tech’s signature experiential, or “learning by doing”, programming. E2L leads the way in designing and delivering high-impact experiential learning that transforms the lives of our students. E2L also supports campus-wide first-year and transfer-student seminars designed around the distinctive Georgia Tech educational experience and serves as a central hub supporting learning communities that have grown up over the past two decades at Georgia Tech.
Student Innovation

Transition Seminars
GT 1000 & GT 2000 are one credit hour, letter graded seminar courses offered in fall, spring, and summer semesters. GT 1000 is for incoming first-year students, and GT 2000 is for incoming transfer students. These courses are committed to supporting the successful transition and experience of new Georgia Tech students.
Co-ops & Internships
Co-ops are the link between the classroom and the workplace. The Co-op program is an accredited academic program in which students gain valuable work experience in their major by alternating between full-time study and at least three semesters of full-time paid work with the same employer.
Internships are designed to complement a student’s formal education with practical experience. They are single-semester, major-related work experiences.
