Wellness Requirement

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

Physics and Technical Electives

These include physics courses and selected courses in other disciplines. At most, 6 hours may be below the 3000 level. These must include at least one lab-based physics course (other than PHYS 4321) at the 3000 level or above.

Humanities/Social Sciences Electives

ENGL 1101 and 1102 apply toward satisfaction of the 12 hour humanities requirement. An additional 6 hours of Institute-approved humanities courses are required to fulfill the 12 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. One of these courses, combined with an additional 9 hours of Institute-approved social science courses, satisfies the 12 hour social sciences requirement.

Physics

Students who have demonstrated competence in mathematics are encouraged to substitute the honors sequence, PHYS 2231-2, for PHYS 2211-2.
