Georgia Tech plans to have courses in-person for the upcoming semester, but many will be taught online.
Nearly 1,000 courses will be taught remotely, according to a list of class schedules released Monday by the school. More than 600 classes are scheduled to be taught in-person. Others will offered through a hybrid model of remote delivery and in-person, the school said.
The school said on its website Monday that the majority of its courses will have some in-person attendance. About 68% of its classes will be in the hybrid format, 20% will be taught online and 12% will be in-person, a Georgia Tech official said Tuesday.
“We are still working through some final details of each available classroom to ensure physical distancing can be maintained consistently, so class locations are still being finalized. They will be shared in early August ahead of the first day of classes,” the website said.
Georgia Tech has significantly increased its online degree programs in recent years. More than 12,000 students, about one-third of its enrollment, were in online master’s programs last year, according to information on the school’s website.
Georgia Tech moved all of its courses online in March in response to the coronavirus outbreak. The school is part of the University System of Georgia, which has said it plans to offer in-person instruction for the fall semester. Many faculty members and students have raised concerns about various aspects of the system’s return plans.
