What is Science, Technology, and Society (STSC)?
The modern world is built on a foundation of science and technology. How did this come to be? What are its implications—for individuals, for communities, for businesses, for governments? Students who major in Science, Technology and Society will find answers to these questions, by pursuing an interdisciplinary program of study that includes courses in the history of science, technology, and medicine, as well as in the natural and social sciences
Understanding how science works, how technological innovation happens, and how both relate to larger social, political, and economic developments is an essential skill for professionals in almost every occupation—and for citizens. Students who major in Science, Technology and Society (STSC) will acquire both a broad liberal arts education as well as specific preparation for careers in knowledge-based occupations such as law, public policy, business, medicine, and journalism.
