The STS major will consist of twelve courses: all students must take STS-101 “Introduction to Science, Technology, and Society”, a three course concentration in either (1) history and political science, (2) economics, (3) sociology and anthropology, or (4) philosophy, with all of these classes drawn from the list of STS courses listed on our program website; three courses in engineering and science, each of which must count for the major of the respective engineering or science department; three STS courses drawn from the online list; and a two-term interdisciplinary senior thesis. No more than six of the courses that count toward the STS major may be numbered 0XX or 1XX (students must take at least six courses at the 200-level or beyond that count towards the STS major).
