Core IMPACTS - Arts, Humanities & Ethics
Last edited: December 18, 2024
Arts, Humanities & Ethics (Humanities)
The Learning Outcomes for the Arts, Humanities & Ethics Core IMPACTS area:
Students will effectively analyze and interpret the meaning, cultural significance, and ethical implications of literary/philosophical texts or of works in the visual/performing arts.
Students must complete 6 credit hours of courses that carry the Arts, Humanities & Ethics (HUM) attribute.
Some Georgia Tech major degree programs require completion of a separate Ethics (ETHS) requirement. Some courses that carry a Core IMPACTS attribute may also be used to satisfy this Georgia Tech Ethics requirement. More information about this Ethics requirement may be found here:
https://catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/ethics/
Notes:
- Any courses listed in prior catalogs as satisfying the humanities or ethics requirement and that were completed while that catalog was in effect may also be used to satisfy these requirements.
- Academic units must formally request approval for courses they deem eligible to carry a Core IMPACTS area attribute from the Institute Undergraduate General Education and Policy Subcommittee, the Institute Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, and the University System of Georgia General Education Council.
- Students are permitted to apply a maximum of 3 credit hours from one 1002-, 2001-, or 2002-numbered Modern Language course that carries the HUM attribute toward their Core IMPACTS area humanities requirement. Please note that:
- students may apply the maximum of 3 credit hours from one of these 1002-, 2001-, or 2002-numbered Modern Language courses toward their Core IMPACTS Area humanities requirement only if that course carries the HUM attribute.
- students may not apply any credits from more than one of these 1002-, 2001-, or 2002-numbered Modern Language courses toward their Core IMPACTS Area humanities requirement regardless of whether or not the course(s) carry the HUM attribute.
- students who apply the maximum of 3 credit hours from one of these 1002-, 2001-, or 2002-numbered Modern Language courses carrying the HUM attribute toward their Core IMPACTS Area humanities requirement must satisfy the remaining 3 credit hours required to complete the Core IMPACTS area humanities requirement by applying credit hours from courses carrying the HUM attribute OTHER THAN one of these 1002-, 2001-, or 2002-numbered Modern Language courses.
- Transfer students are asked to please be aware that when they see courses on their GT record that are listed with an "X" in the number (ECON 3XXX or JAPN 10X2, for example) it means that these are transfer courses and although they were not equated exactly with a GT course, they may have been accepted to meet a Core IMPACTS Area such as Arts, Humanities & Ethics and Social Sciences. If they review their records in DegreeWorks, they will be able to see how their transfer credit applies to their GT degree program. Transfer students should consult their academic advisors for more information.
