Transfering from within Georgia Tech
With the large number of electives available to HTS majors, most students can change their major up until their junior year without losing academic credits. The large number of electives (30) also facilitates earning a double major.
To learn more about changing your major or adding a double major, schedule an advising appointment with Sonya Boadu, academic advisor. You can access the change of major form on the registrar's website.
To learn more about the curriculum, please review the current degree checklist for the B.S. HTS.
Transferring from Another University
The School of History and Sociology welcomes external transfer students.
With a flexible curriculum, lots of electives, a wide variety of classes from which to choose, and alums who secure interesting and rewarding careers, majoring in History, Technology, and Society is a smart choice for transfer students.
Students in the School of History and Sociology (HSOC) have a variety of opportunities to supplement their "in class" learning, including undergraduate research, internships, and study abroad. HSOC participates in both the International Plan and the Research Option. HSOC houses a chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the National History Honor Society, and there are hundreds of campus organizations so students can get involved. Georgia Tech also hosts the Eta Pi chapter of Tau Sigma, the National Transfer Student Honor Society.
To learn more about the B.S. in History, Technology, and Society and see the required courses, visit the undergraduate major section of the website.
