From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
The Georgia Institute of Technology is a university in Atlanta, Georgia. It's commonly known as Georgia Tech. It focuses primarily on engineering, science and computer science, but also has schools of management, architecture, and liberal arts.
When it opened in 1885, the primary focus was on practical experience. Students spent half of their time in class, and half in the shop. It first admitted women in 1952. It was the first university in the South to integrate without a court order in 1961.
