Electives

Wellness Requirement

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. To satisfy the state requirements regarding coursework in the history and constitutions of the United States and Georgia, students must complete one of the following courses: HIST 2111, HIST 2112, POL 1101, PUBP 3000, or INTA 1200. This course, along with either ECON 2100, 2105, or 2106, satisfies half of the social science obligation. An additional six hours of Institute-approved social science courses, satisfies the twelve-hour social sciences requirement.
