Core Area C

Core Area C: Humanities, Fine Arts, and Ethics

Core Area C is satisfied by completion of 6 semester hours in courses that carry the HUM (Humanities) attribute. Fine Arts and some ethics related courses are included under Humanities at Georgia Tech. Courses that carry both the HUM and ETHS attribute can serve both purposes.

Notice:

On March 9, 2016 the Board of Regents approved a revision to Board of Regents policies related to the Core Curriculum.

Effective immediately:

1.  Institutions will not be required to identify or track overlay requirements related to US Perspectives, Global Perspectives, and Critical Thinking.
2.  Students will not be required to complete the overlay requirements from this point forward.
3.  Students who are scheduled to graduate this semester and who have not completed the overlays may graduate without fulfilling this requirement.

Note:

  1. Any courses completed that were listed in prior catalogs as satisfying the humanities or ethics requirement and were completed while that catalog was in effect may also be used to satisfy this requirement.
  2. Academic units must formally request approval for courses they deem eligible to carry the Humanities attribute from the Institute Curriculum Committee and the University System of Georgia General Education Council.
  3. Humanities credit is awarded for Modern Languages 1001 classes upon successful completion of the corresponding 1002 classes. Humanities credit is awarded for SPAN 1001 only upon the successful completion of SPAN 1002. In some instances, students may complete a Modern Languages course at 1001 and then be placed at the second-semester level and complete the 2001 level course. Therefore, the sequence that will warrant HUM credit for Modern Languages courses may be either the 1001-1002 or the 1001-2001 sequence. Note: Any new Modern Languages course must be approved by the Institute Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and the University System of Georgia General Education Council to carry the Humanities attribute. The attribute is not automatically applied to new Modern Languages courses as new languages are introduced.
  4. Undergraduate Research courses numbered 2698, 2699, 4698, and 4699 cannot be used to fulfill requirements for humanities.
  5. Additional information on Music courses: Students can earn humanities credit for participation in ensembles.
  6. Humanities Credit for Ensemble Participation
    Students can earn Humanities credit for participation in one or more specified School of Music ensembles. Each ensemble course is repeatable for credit and the following ensembles carry the humanities attribute:
    MUSI 3121Concert Band1
    MUSI 3131Symphonic Band1
    MUSI 3231Chamber Choir1
    MUSI 3241Chorale1
    MUSI 3251Glee Club1
    MUSI 3261Treble Choir1
    MUSI 3311Jazz Ensemble1
    MUSI 3511Percussion Ensemble1
    MUSI 3531New Music Ensemble1
    MUSI 3551Rock and Pop Ensemble1
    MUSI 3611Symphony Orchestra1
  7. Transfer Students:

    Please be aware that when you see courses on your GT record that are listed with an "X" in the number (ECON 3XXX or JAPN 10X2, for example) it means that these are transfer courses and although they were not equated exactly with a GT course, they may have been accepted to meet a Core area such as Humanities and Social Science.

    If you review your records in DegreeWorks, you will be able to see how your transfer credit applies to your GT degree program. Refer to your academic advisor for more information.
