Courses
Courses are taught in English. The faculty includes professors who are permanently assigned to GTL as well as professors who rotate in from the main campus in Atlanta. GTL offers Masters' level courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D.'s in Electrical and Computer Engineering and in Mechanical Engineering. GTL also offers undergraduate courses in a variety of engineering disciplines as well as non-engineering courses.
Most of the GTL graduate students participate in a double degree program with partner French schools for masters and Ph.D. degrees. Students spend 1-2 semesters at GTL and 1-2 semesters at the partner campus to earn the two masters degrees in about two years. Students are required to learn French if they wish to participate in the double degree program. A three-month internship is a required part of the double degree program.
Most of the French students from partner institutions visit the Atlanta campus for a semester to complete their requirements. Certificate courses offered by the College of Management are a favorite among French students, which supposedly enhances their Grand Ecole education.

Famous quotes containing the word courses:
“However, our fates at least are social. Our courses do not diverge; but as the web of destiny is woven it is fulled, and we are cast more and more into the centre. Men naturally, though feebly, seek this alliance, and their actions faintly foretell it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“All the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The inconveniences and horrors of the pox are perfectly well known to every one; but still the disease flourishes and spreads. Several million people were killed in a recent war and half the world ruined; but we all busily go on in courses that make another event of the same sort inevitable. Experientia docet? Experientia doesn’t.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
