Minor in Sports, Society, and Technology

For students in other majors interested in broadening their educational experience at Georgia Tech, the School of History and Sociology offers minors in history; sociology; Health, Medicine, and Society; Science, Technology, and Society; Sports, Society, and Technology; and participates in the interdisciplinary minors in Social Justice; and Women, Science, and Technology.

Program of Study

A multidisciplinary minor may contain courses in a student’s major field of study. A maximum of 6 credit hours of such courses may be used to satisfy the course requirements for the minor, provided these courses are not also used to satisfy any course requirement in the student’s major degree program.

In addition to the courses listed here, there are other courses offered less regularly—for example, Special Topics and Undergraduate Research classes---that may count toward the minor. The SST adviser should be consulted for guidance. Three credit hours taken outside of SST courses may be counted toward the minor, with the approval of the SST minor advisor.
