Hispanic Business Magazine Top Graduate SchoolsFor the third consecutive year, the Georgia Institute of Technology has been ranked as the number one graduate engineering school in the United States by Hispanic Business magazine. The publication recognized Georgia Tech on the basis of the university’s Hispanic enrollment and retention rate, as well as, student services, faculty and reputation.
Georgia Tech is one of the largest producers of Hispanic engineers in the country, a status achieved through the high quality and reputation of its engineering programs, combined with targeted recruitment and retention programs for Hispanic students, according to Georgia Tech Dean of Engineering Don Giddens.
“We are consistently working to foster a learning environment that builds on the talents and contributions of everyone,” said Giddens. “In this environment, Hispanic students, as well as all of our students, can succeed and grow as they prepare to be engineers of tomorrow.”
Not only does the Office of Hispanic Initiatives (OHI) assist with the recruitment of high-achieving, talented Hispanic/Latino students to Georgia Tech, OHI also provides programs that help them grow academically, personally and professionally and prepares them for success after graduating.
