The interdisciplinary minor in STS consists of seven courses that must include 01:556:220 Introduction to Science, Technology, and Society, a 3-credit multidisciplinary course that is designed specifically for students in the minor; 01:556:404 Topics in Science, Technology, and Society, a 1-credit senior seminar; and five 3-credit courses in the area of STS (see STS-Area Courses below).
In addition, students must show some familiarity with mathematics and science, defined by taking two courses in each (see Mathematics Requirement and Science Requirement below).
Course selections for the minor must be approved by the program director or a program adviser. Only courses completed with grades of C or better are counted toward the minor.
