The GVU Center offers a learning experience like no other at Georgia Tech. Faculty and students are drawn from every Georgia Tech college, attracted by the unique creative and technical challenges presented by the Center's research projects.
The Center enables collaborative research that is difficult to achieve in traditional academic and industry settings. The combinations of researchinterests and expertise are the catalyst for significant insights into the evolving interaction between people and computers.
In addition, two degree programs are closely aligned with the GVU Center. They exemplify the collaborative, interdisciplinary nature of GVU activities as well as its emphasis on practical solutions.
The master's program in Human-Computer Interaction is a cooperative effort of the College of Computing; the School of Psychology; and the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture. The program provides students with the practical, interdisciplinary skills and theoretical understanding they need to become leaders in the design, implementation and evaluation of the computer interfaces of the future.

The Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing is the first degree program of its kind, bringing together studies in human-computer interaction, learning sciences and technology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, robotics, software engineering and information security.
The Ph.D. program's focus is not on computer technology, but how computers affect lives in terms of advanced product development and human capabilities. The degree leverages Georgia Tech's strongest programs and concentrations, including multimedia and digital media studies, human factors, ergonomics, assistive technologies, industrial design, cognitive science, sociology and public policy.
Graduates are exceptionally well prepared for careers in both academia and industry.
