科学，技术与社会科学学士学位

与科学，技术和人类系统的相互作用有关的问题是高度跨学科和文化的，需要超越时空的分析技术。因此，科学，技术和社会学士课程强调了在追求知识方面必须走出学科和文化框框的局面。因此，该计划的重点是文化和信息素养以及批判性思维。首要目标是培养通才，他们通晓科学，技术和社会之间的复杂相互关系，并掌握改变环境的技术技能。提供以下三个轨道：普通科学，技术与社会，全球技术与发展，科学，技术与治理。
The rapid advancement of science and technology plays an important role in our modern global society, and charting the path forward is one of the main challenges we face. Prepare for a wide array of socially impactful careers at the forefront of the ongoing technological revolution. The BS program in science, technology and society considers the impacts of science and technology on global and social issues. Information and communication technologies have changed the world in ways no one could have imagined 50 years ago. Everything --- from the way humans are born to how they die --- is driven by rapidly changing technologies. As these changes occur, it is important for organization managers and policymakers to understand the implications and respond accordingly.<br><br>The questions concerning how science and technology change society are highly transdisciplinary and cultural. Students learn to understand the intricate interrelationships of science, technology and society and become prepared with technical skills and knowledge to promote change. This extremely flexible program encourages students to focus on social problems with current and engaging topics such as:<br><br>health and economic disparities<br>housing and food insecurities<br>identity politics<br>social change<br>social and political unrest<br>technological divide<br>Problems of the world are complex and multidisciplinary and require a multifaceted approach. Addressing modern social problems often requires a combination of policies, sociological interventions and economic infrastructure planning. Theories from social science disciplines provide the basis for effective decision-making and problem-solving. Graduates of the program are prepared with theory and research skill sets that allow them to draw from the best of the multiple disciplines in the social sciences as they confront a technically sophisticated world.
