In addition to the core and specialization areas, the curriculum includes 15 semester hours of electives.  These electives can be used to deepen the student's knowledge in a specialization or to broaden exposure to additional areas of planning.

Students may take electives within the Program, within the College of Architecture, in other schools and departments at Georgia Tech (e.g. Civil Engineering, Public Policy, Information Systems, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences) or at other area universities such as Georgia State or Emory University.  Through the cross-registration system, students are allowed to enroll in a liberal number of courses that are not offered at Georgia Tech.
