Core Courses

The core courses introduce students to the connections among civilization, technology, and the global environment. Individual core courses focus on historical and cultural foundations, basic ideas and values, dominant institutions, environmental viewpoints, policy developments, and sustainable development.

The senior seminar and project is the capstone course for science, technology, and society majors. Students work closely with the senior seminar director and a faculty adviser to identify a topic, investigate it in depth, and compose a senior thesis. Seniors also take the lead in monthly faculty-student colloquia on major technological, scientific, and environmental issues.
