Core IMPACTS - Social Sciences
Social Sciences
The Learning Outcomes for the Social Sciences IMPACTS area:
Students will effectively analyze the complexity of human behavior, and how historical, economics, political, social, or geographic relationships develop, persist, or change.
Students will select 9 credit hours of courses that carry the Social Sciences (SS) attribute. Some Social Sciences courses may also carry the Georgia Tech assigned Ethics (ETHS) attribute. These courses may be used to serve both purposes.
Notes:
- Any courses completed that were listed in prior catalogs as satisfying the Social Sciences Core IMPACTS area and were completed while that catalog was in effect may also be used to satisfy this requirement.
- Credit is not awarded for both POL 1101 and INTA 1200.
- Academic units must formally request approval for courses they deem eligible to carry the Social Sciences (SS) attribute from the Institute Undergraduate General Education and Policy Subcommittee, the Institute Undergraduate Curriculum Committee and the University System of Georgia General Education Council.
- Students can receive 3 credit hours for any of the following: ECON 2100, ECON 2101, ECON 2105, ECON 2106. Students may receive 6 credit hours if ECON 2105 is completed with ECON 2106.
-
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 there were not equated exactly with a GT course, they may have been accepted to meet a Core IMPACTS area such as Arts, Humanities & Ethics and Social Sciences. 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.
