Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business

What Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business does

Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business is the business school of the Georgia Institute of Technology, a public research university established as a college in 2015 and headquartered in Midtown Atlanta's Technology Square. The college serves prospective and current students, working professionals, and executive learners through a portfolio that includes a four-year undergraduate business administration program, a 22-month full-time MBA, a part-time evening MBA, a 17-month weekend Executive MBA, an M.S. in Management, a Ph.D. program with seven concentrations, graduate certificates, and Executive Education offerings. Scheller's core differentiator is its deep integration of technology and AI throughout the curriculum, anchored by dedicated courses such as "AI for Business" and the "Chief AI and Data Officer Certificate Program," along with applied programs like TI:GER for technology commercialization.

The college's revenue model is primarily tuition-driven (undergraduate and graduate degree programs), supplemented by executive education fees and graduate certificate revenue. The Ph.D. program is fully funded through graduate research assistantships, including a $35,350 living stipend and tuition waivers. Distribution is dominated by on-campus delivery in Atlanta, with growing online and hybrid formats for executive education extending reach globally. The college monetizes its location within Tech Square — adjacent to 25 corporate innovation centers, five startup accelerators, and over 100 startups — through a corporate partnership network of 100+ firms that supports student recruitment, experiential learning, and career placement.

Operationally, Scheller benefits from a 28,000+ alumni network, career services ranked Top 5 in the world by the Financial Times for nine consecutive years, and Top 10 U.S. News & World Report rankings in Business Analytics, Information Systems, Operations, and Project Management. The go-to-market motion is traditional sales-led academic recruitment, supported by multi-channel marketing including digital presence, social media, thought leadership events (TechForward MBA Conference, AI and Future of Finance Conference, Tech Talks Business), the Intersection Podcast, industry roundtables, and earned media. As a college within a public state university, Scheller does not operate as a commercial enterprise and does not disclose standalone revenue.

Broad incumbents

• Indiana University Kelley School of Business: Kelley is a broad incumbent in part-time and online MBA delivery, competing for working professionals seeking flexible, technology-enabled business education — overlapping with Scheller's Evening MBA and online executive education.
• NYU Stern School of Business: Stern is a broad incumbent competitor with a much larger brand and global reach, competing for the same MBA and executive education buyer pool in finance, tech, and analytics — though with a less tech-school identity than Scheller.
• Wharton School (University of Pennsylvania): Wharton is the broad incumbent benchmark for full-time, executive MBA, and executive education offerings; it competes for the same corporate partner relationships and executive-learner demand, albeit with far greater scale and brand.

Direct peers

• UC Berkeley Haas School of Business: Haas is a strong direct peer given its location in a major tech ecosystem, strength in business analytics and entrepreneurship, and tech-industry recruiting base — paralleling Scheller's Tech Square advantage.
• UIUC Gies College of Business: Gies is a direct peer as a technology-focused public university business school, competing for similar applicants with strengths in analytics, information systems, and accountancy.
• University of Michigan Ross School of Business: Ross is a direct competitor for full-time and evening MBA applicants nationally, with comparable action-based learning and operations/analytics rankings adjacent to Scheller's profile.
• MIT Sloan School of Management: MIT Sloan is the closest direct peer: a technology- and analytics-focused business school embedded within a top engineering university, with comparable AI-business curriculum emphasis and an overlapping target applicant pool. It is mentioned in the source data in connection with the Financial Times MBA ranking.
• Stanford Graduate School of Business: Stanford GSB competes head-to-head for tech-oriented MBA talent and corporate partnerships, and is a benchmark for executive education in AI and innovation — overlapping directly with Scheller's strategic positioning.

Others

• Georgia Institute of Technology: Georgia Tech is Scheller's parent institution; the engineering and computing reputation of the parent directly fuels Scheller's tech-school positioning, faculty research collaboration, and the Tech Square ecosystem advantage.
