The Interaction Hour: Zvi Galil and the Online Revolution at Georgia Tech

When Zvi Galil, the outgoing John P. Imlay Jr. Dean of Computing, came to Georgia Tech in 2010, there was no such thing as OMSCS. True online degree programs were still a dream, AI teaching assistants unnecessary, and the College of Computing, while excellent, in many ways mirrored its peers in higher education. Over nearly a decade that he has helmed the College, however, it has experienced dramatic growth both in size and reputation. Due in large part to the Online Master of Science in Computer Science program that Dean Galil spearheaded, computing is now Georgia Tech’s largest major and is also a consensus top-8 computer science program nationally.
