Prospective Students for the Department of Science and Technology in Society
Undergraduate students in STS may choose from three different 18 semester-hour minor programs which can, in combination, become part of a degree option in STS through an Interdisciplinary Studies (IDST) degree or may be used to complement any disciplinary major. Because the HST and ST minors emphasize the contexts of modern science and technology, it provides attractive electives and serves as an ideal complement to a disciplinary major in any of the natural or social sciences or in history, communications, international studies, philosophy, mathematics, statistics, or computer science.
