That could be the deciding factor for him. And congrats to him and his parents & teachers for that!HornsRuleU,
That is sound thinking and one of the reasons I pushed him to apply to Notre Dame and Rice. He had strictly been focused on tech schools but I have always seen in him, a real passion for history, like his father. If he goes to Georgia Tech, (he is already admitted to their Aerospace Engineering Program) and decides it isn't for him, there is no real backup in history. Notre Dame and Rice both have exceptional history departments. Of course Aerospace is marketable, history, except for a very few, is not going to pay off the student loans in a hurry...
At Georgia Tech, he could minor in history, or get a B.S. in History, Technology & Society minor.
Options to consider:
- summer courses elsewhere and transfer them in
- undergrad for broad / rounding education, and graduate school for specific interests
