Certificate Programs

The Architecture Program offers three certificate programs for which students may apply:

  1. American Architectural History - The American Architectural History Certificate recognizes completion of a general survey of American architecture with designated, specialized studies.
  2. European Design History - The European Design History Certificate is especially appropriate for students in the Paris Study Abroad Program and/or the Italy Summer Program and recognizes the successful completion of a focused program of study in various areas of the history of European architecture.
  3. History of Architecture and Design - The History of Architecture and Design Certificate recognizes completion of focused study in the history of architcture and design from a wide range of designated courses.

Certificates will be granted only to students who, in addition to the certificate program requirements, have satisfied requirements for a Georgia Tech degree. Each certificate requires a minimum of 12 credit hours, at least nine of which are at the 3000 level or higher in the designated area. Courses required by a student's program of study may not be credited by that student toward a certificate. Courses counting toward a certificate must be taken on a letter-grade basis, and a C or better must be received in each course.
