Program Description

The undergraduate minor in Science & Technology Studies (STS) is designed for students who wish to engage in a systematic, interdisciplinary exploration of the role of science and technology in modern societies. The minor is intended for students with varied academic interests and career goals. Majors in the natural sciences and engineering have an opportunity to explore the social, political, and ethical implications of their selected fields of specialization, while students majoring in the humanities and social sciences have a chance to study the processes, products, and impacts of science and technology from an STS perspective.

Admissions

Students must apply by the end of week 3 in their final semester.

Interested students may obtain further information about courses by contacting the STS undergraduate office.

Note: Biology and Society majors cannot use more than one course to fulfill requirements for both the BSOC major and the STS minor.
