When the Georgia School of Technology opened, English was among the six subjects taught at the time.[1] Modern Languages, Economics, and Geography were all taught at Tech before World War I.[1] These subjects, however, were not grouped into a formal school of liberal arts. In 1948, the General College was created; in 1981, it was renamed the College of Sciences and Liberal Studies.[1] In 1990, the latter college was divided, creating the Ivan Allen College of Management, Policy, & International Affairs. In 1998, the School of Management was spun off into its own college, leaving the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts. It is now considered a model example of university education that pairs technical ability with liberal arts knowledge. [1]
