Certificate and Minor Programs

The College of Architecture offers certificate programs in Architectural and Design History, City and Regional Planning, and Music, as well as undergraduate minor programs in Architectural History, Music, and a multidisciplinary minor in Design/Arts History. The certificates require a minimum of nine or twelve semester hours of concentration depending on the area. Minor programs require at least eighteen hours of concentration (at least twelve hours taken at the 3000 level or above). Academic advisors in the relevant programs should be consulted for details.

Undergraduate Minor in Multidisciplinary Design/Arts History

The College of Architecture offers a minor for students in all disciplines at Georgia Tech. The program, which is separate from the minor in Architectural History offered by the Architecture Program (consult http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/academics/minorguide.php), requires completion of one of three available core survey sequences in the history of design (ARCH 2111 and 2112 [or ARCH 4105 and 4106] or COA 2241 and 2242 or ID 2202) in addition to four courses from at least three lists of courses in: history of architecture, the history of industrial design, the history of the city/landscape/garden, history of art and foreign study, and music history. Architecture and Industrial Design program students must select a core survey sequence outside their major, or select two additional electives from approved lists. Interested students should consult with the associate dean for Undergraduate Studies and Creative Activity for more details.
