Although GVU is not an academic unit, teaching is one of the foundations of our Center. More than 160 graduate students work with our affiliated faculty on projects related to graphics, visualization and usability, and GVU faculty teach many graduate, undergraduate and continuing education courses in these areas. The Classroom 2000 project is using technology to change the traditional classroom environment. In fall 1997, we inaugurated the Master of Science Program in Human Computer Interaction (HCI),one of only a handful of such programs in the country. This Master's program is coordinated by the GVU Center, and includes students from three participating units: Psychology; Computing; and Literature, Communication, and Culture. Our students find many advantages to being associated with the GVU Center. The interdisciplinary context of our work fosters a unique perspective that makes our well rounded graduates highly regarded in the employment market. We offer our students access to numerous labs and facilities, as well as a variety of fellowships and awards for both Masters and Ph.D. level students. GVU itself is not an academic unit and does not grant any degrees. Instead it is comprised of many participating academic units around campus. The GVU Center offers students an interdisciplinary environment for research and study. Center members teach courses and seminars in the principles and methods of computer graphics, visualization, and usability to members of the academic community ranging from undergraduate students to graduate students and faculty. To participate in the program, students enroll in the college or school of a participating unit, from which they receive their degree. The participating departments are: • College of Architecture GVU does, however, sponsor a Masters Degree in Human Computer Interaction through three affiliated departments: the College of Computing, the School of Literature, Communications and Culture, and the School of Psychology.A defined interdisciplinary minor program has also been established (which still allows for flexible, individual tailoring) for students from Computing, ISyE, LCC, Psycology, or other departments who want to concentrate in either graphics, vizualization, or usability. For more information on this program, contact the Office of Student Services, College of Computing, and request a GVU brochure.You can find information about GVU related courses at: http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/gvu/education/courses.html Here are some contacts to departments which frequently participate in the GVU: Graphics, VR, Animation, User Interfaces, Visualization, Usability College of Computing phd-info@cc.gatech.edu (use address for M.S. information too) Multimedia, Information
