The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program offers students the opportunity to study how science and technology are shaped by, and in turn reshape, politics, law, and public life. From artificial intelligence regulation and data privacy to climate governance, public health, and biotechnology oversight, the minor explores questions of power, accountability, and the public good.

Science and technology play a powerful role in structuring our world, in everything from our physical environment to our culture. A multifaceted understanding of this role is key both for those who aspire to shape our world and for those who want to be successful in it.
