A Research-Driven Academic College

Advancing learning across the full arc of life

The Georgia Tech College of Lifetime Learning advances lifelong education by integrating academic rigor, workforce-aligned learning, and flexible pathways that serve learners across every stage of life.

As a research-driven academic college, we are redefining education for a world of constant change. Traditional degree models alone are no longer sufficient for careers, technologies, and communities that evolve continuously. Our work focuses on designing learning systems that adapt over time, supporting learners as they grow, shift roles, and navigate repeated transitions across their lives.

We advance the science and practice of learning systems to better understand how people learn most effectively from early exploration through professional reinvention. This research informs new approaches to education that move beyond time-bound models toward learning that remains relevant, accessible, and connected to real-world outcomes.

Founded in 2024, the College of Lifetime Learning positions Georgia Tech, a leading public research university, as a global leader in lifetime learning. By integrating teaching, research, and engagement, we transform education into an ongoing opportunity that expands access, strengthens mobility, and supports a learning society prepared for what comes next.

Learning Across a Lifetime

A connected approach to education, research, and professional growth

We support learning across every stage of life, from early learning experiences through advanced study, research, and professional growth. Our work connects education to real-world application so learning keeps pace with lives, careers, and communities as they change.

From a strong start, guided by parents and educators, through continued growth across the years, learning should grow with people rather than fall behind them.

By bringing together education, research, and practice, the College creates pathways that help individuals and organizations adapt with confidence and purpose, building durable skills and resilient systems that support opportunity over a lifetime.
