Educational Opportunities
Undergraduate Minor in Science, Technology and Society (STS)
The STS Minor provides students critical thinking skills to effectively contribute to a world shaped by computing and artificial intelligence, environmental change, new medical technologies, and genetic engineering. Students engage with current technoscientific issues in historical context, develop capacities to examine scientific and technical processes, and practice speaking about them effectively to multidisciplinary audiences.
PhD Designated Emphasis in Science and Technology Studies
