Southern Polytechnic State University General Information A-1

Introduction

Southern Polytechnic State University, a member of the University System of Georgia, is a comprehensive technological university with a unique purpose. Through a fusion of technology with the liberal arts and sciences, SPSU creates a learning community that encourages thoughtful inquiry, diverse perspectives, and strong preparation of its graduates to be leaders in an increasingly technological world. Southern Polytechnic is located in the historic, vibrant city of Marietta, Georgia, northwest of downtown Atlanta. Approximately 5,200 traditional and non-traditional students attend day, evening, and weekend classes on a campus of naturally wooded landscape with modern facilities and on-campus apartment housing to meet students’ academic, physical, and social needs. The institution was founded in 1948 at the request of Georgia business and industry as a two-year division of The Georgia Institute of Technology, originally called The Technical Institute and soon thereafter the Southern Technical Institute. It became an independent college in the University System of Georgia in 1980, when the school’s first president, Dr. Stephen Cheshier, was named. The college became a university in 1996 with the new name of Southern Polytechnic State University. Its second president, Dr. Lisa A. Rossbacher, joined SPSU in the summer of 1998. Academic Programs The University offers bachelors and masters degrees and continuing professional development in science, engineering, technology, business, architecture, and related fields, with a focus on how to apply knowledge and use technology to solve real problems. Dedicated and experienced faculty with excellent academic credentials and business and industry experience teach in the University’s academic areas: The School of Arts and Sciences; the School of Engineering Technology and Management; the School of Architecture, Civil Engineering Technology, and Construction; the School of Computing and Software Engineering; and the Division of Engineering. Southern Polytechnic has earned an exceptional reputation in the field of engineering technology education. The 2009 edition of Profiles of Engineering and Engineering Technology Colleges, published by the American Society for Engineering Education, ranked SPSU as #1 in the number of African-American male students receiving engineering technology degrees, #4 in the total number of engineering technology bachelors degrees awarded, #2 in the number of students enrolled in engineering technology programs, and #7 in the number of engineering technology degrees awarded to women. SPSU is a university of diverse and talented students. Entering freshmen rank in the top four highest SAT scores in the University System of Georgia. Over the years, Southern Polytechnic has expanded and broadened its degree programs in some of the nation’s fastest growing fields, such as software engineering and information technology, and it offers a variety of arts and sciences degrees in fields that include mathematics, physics, biology, English and professional communication, psychology, and international studies. In late 2006 and early 2007, the University added three new undergraduate engineering degree programs: Construction Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, and Systems Engineering. In 2009, degrees were added in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Game Design and Development. The University also offers a nationally accredited Bachelor of Architecture, which has been listed in the America’s Best Architecture and Design Schools as one of the top ten schools in the south.

Southern Polytechnic is also leading the way in Georgia with its non-degree certificate programs in technology-related areas. Non-degree certificate programs are offered through the Office of Extended University and include certification in embedded systems, computer service technician, web developer, programming, time study, and A+ Test Prep. The Computer Science Department offers a graduate certificate in software engineering that gives practitioners the opportunity to advance into leadership positions and provides courses that can be applied toward the Master of Science in Software Engineering. Computer Science also offers an undergraduate certificate in programming. This certificate program offers courses that can be applied towards the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. A University of Firsts Southern Polytechnic is an educational institution of "firsts." In the fall of 1997, Southern Polytechnic stepped to the forefront of technological advances in education, becoming the first institution in Georgia to offer a full degree program over the Internet. The Master of Science in Quality Assurance, offered by the Industrial Engineering Technology Department, set the tone for educational options in the future and placed Southern Polytechnic as a role model for the University System of Georgia. Since that time, Southern Polytechnic has expanded its Internet options, adding complete certificate programs as well as the electronic core curriculum (eCore) on-line and an undergraduate WebBSIT, a bachelors degree in information technology offered on-line in a consortium with five other University System schools. Other University "firsts" include:

The University System of Georgia's only nationally accredited professional Bachelor of Architecture degree

Georgia's first masters program in technical and professional communication Georgia’s first masters program in the management of technology (now an MBA degree) The Southeast's only masters programs in electrical engineering technology and quality

Historical Highlights Founded in 1948 as a two-year division of Georgia Institute of Technology, the school was established at the request of Georgia business and industry. It first opened its doors as The Technical Institute in rented military barracks in Chamblee, Georgia. The first director, L.V. Johnson, began operations with 116 students, all but 10 of whom were World War II veterans and all but one of whom were male, and a staff of 12 members. In 1949, a name change and a status change became important to the institution and its students. Now called the Southern Technical Institute, the institution was recognized as a college-level school by the U.S. Department of Education. In 1961, Hoyt McClure was named acting director and led the move of the college to eight new buildings on 120 acres of land at the current campus in Marietta, Georgia. This was the base of today’s campus of 203 acres. In 1970, SPSU became a four-year college and one of the first colleges in the nation to offer the bachelor of engineering technology degree. In 1979, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia approved making “Southern Tech” an independent senior college in the University System of Georgia, severing organizational ties with its former parent institution, Georgia Tech. In the summer of 1980, the school officially became the 14th senior college and the 33rd independent unit of the University System. The college’s first president, Dr. Stephen R. Cheshier from Purdue University, was named in 1980 and took the college through the transition of becoming Southern College of Technology in 1987. He served with distinction until his retirement as president in June 1997. The school became a university and was re-named Southern Polytechnic State University in the summer of 1996. Dr. Daniel S. Papp was SPSU’s interim president from July of 1997 until the summer of 1998. The University welcomed Dr. Lisa A. Rossbacher as the second president of SPSU in August 1998. She is currently in her thirteenth year of service at Southern Polytechnic.
