The Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business, drawing distinction from its roots in a world-renowned technical research university sends a remarkable number of its graduates into information technology. Scheller graduates taking up roles in IT often draw higher salaries than their classmates heading into finance or consulting. Students benefit from the College's home in Technology Square, located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta's high-tech business community. The International Practicum, a semester-long elective course, allows students to work with and consult international companies and experience visiting these companies in countries such as Costa Rica, Ireland, and Japan.
