All undergraduate students attending Georgia Tech must satisfactorily complete a wellness requirement (HPS 1040 or equivalent).

Humanities/Social Sciences Electives

ENGL 1101 and 1102 apply toward satisfaction of the twelve-hour humanities requirement. An additional six hours of Institute-approved humanities courses are required to fulfill the twelve-hour humanities requirement.

One of these courses combined with three hours each of economics (ECON 2100) and history/political science, combined with an additional three hours of Institute-approved social science courses, satisfies the twelve-hour social sciences requirement.
