B.S. in History, Technology, and Society

The History, Technology, and Society (HTS) degree is comparable to traditional degrees in history and sociology, but the program has several attributes that make it unique. The degree requires broad-based training in humanities, mathematics, science, and social sciences, giving HTS graduates the advantage of a truly broad, humanistic education. The program's focus on the social origins and impact of industry, science, and technology is also distinctive, providing students with the critical tools needed to understand the complex issues related to the development of the modern world.

The Bachelors of Science in History, Technology, and Society consists of the Core Curriculum required of all Tech undergraduates, plus courses in the HTS program of study. These include a group of lower level classes related to the major as well as the courses that comprise the core of the major. Free electives allow majors to pursue other interests, including minors and certificates. A number of HTS majors each year choose to double major to take advantage of the many educational opportunities available at Tech.

Georgia Tech's Bachelor of Science degree in History, Technology, & Society helps students to develop an understanding of the complex social issues associated with our technologically advanced society.
