Addendum to the
Undergraduate Curriculum Committee Meeting
November 13, 2002
PROPOSAL: UNDERGRADUATE MINORS
In order to encourage and
officially to acknowledge the attainment by students of a fair measure of expertise
and knowledge in more than one academic field and with the intention of
offering students the opportunity to broaden their education through a minor
field, the College of Architecture proposes/institutes the following minors
A.
Architectural
History
B.
Multi-Disciplinary
Design/Arts History
Guidelines and
Requirements:
The Architectural History
Minor recognizes the successful completion of a program of study in various
history-focused areas of the history, theory, and criticism of architecture.
The Multi-Disciplinary
Design/Arts History Minor recognizes the successful completion of a focused
program of study in multiple related fields in the history of arts/design with
selected course work in architectural history, the history of industrial
design, the history of planning and urban design, the history of landscape
architecture and gardens, the history of decorative arts, art history, and
music history.
1.
Each minor
program consists of at least 18 semester hours of which 12 semester hours are
advanced upper level course work (numbered 3000 or above) in a field of study
other than the student’s major and must be completed in residence at Georgia
Tech. By approving the minor proposal,
the College of Architecture attests that by successful completion of the minor,
a student has attained a fair measure of expertise and knowledge in the minor
field.
2.
All courses
counting toward the minor must be taken on a letter-grade basis and must be
completed with an overall grade point average of at least 2.5 [Ga Tech requires
2.0]
3.
Courses required
by name and number in a student’s major degree program may not be used in
satisfying the course requirements for a minor.
4.
No more than 4
semester hours of Special Topics courses may be included in a minor program
5.
Special Problems
courses may not be used in the minimum 18 hours of a minor program.
6.
Courses used in a
minor may also be used to fulfill area requirements (free electives, technical
electives, social science electives, humanities electives, etc.) as approved by
the student’s major school. However,
area minimum requirements must be met in total (combined totals for
SS/Humanities may not be used).
7. A student may have no more
than two minors.
