Careers for STS Majors
The STS major provides excellent preparation for a variety of careers—business, law, medicine, engineering, education, and public service are just some fields in which STS majors have flourished. Current and prospective STS majors are advised to consult the following resources in their career explorations:
Stanford Career Development Center is your campus resource for learning about careers, networking, job and internship lists, resume and interview preparation, and other services
The STS Job Resource Center (powered by AfterCollege) provides a list of jobs and internships selected specifically for STS majors
The STS Office has extensive information on careers of recent STS graduates in its publication “IDP Self-Study Report: STS Program, 1999-2006.” In some cases, we may be able to provide you with contact information for STS alums who are working for companies or in fields in which you are interested.

Graduating as a Geosciences major prepares students for jobs in environmental consulting, in teaching, and iin commercial fields such as energy and resource extraction.
Many students continue to graduate schools accross the country. Recent graduates have gone to M.I.T., Woods Hole, Stanford, Princeton, Cornell, University of Washington, and U.C. Santa Cruz, among others. Since 1996, six of our majors have won NSF graduate fellowships, more than in any undergraduate program in the entire country. We stay in close contact with many of our alumni, and often see them at meetings and elsewhere.

Program Information
Stanford's Program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) offers undergraduates integrated studies of the natures and relationship of science, technology, and engineering, and of the social relations of science and technology. STS provides an arena for dialogue among students of engineering, humanities, natural sciences and social sciences--a common ground where important cross-disciplinary studies transcending the gaps between the technical and non-technical fields are not merely envisioned, but practiced.
Stanford's STS program, founded in 1971, is among the oldest of such programs in the United States. Stanford STS graduates, taking full advantage of their unique, demanding, and intellectually stimulating training, have
Special Opportunitites
A number of learning opportunities are available throughout the student's stay at Stanford and complement the formal course work.
Annual Retreat
Students in the Neurosciences Program organize an annual retreat in the Autumn Quarter which serves to familiarize new students with their peers and faculty. Students choose guest speakers who present their work, along with selected senior students, in an informal setting. The two-day retreat is held at the Hopkins Marine Station, by the ocean on the Monterey Bay Peninsula.
Weekly Neurosciences Graduate Student luncheon
All neuroscience students participate in the required class "Professional Development and Integrity in Neuroscience" In this course,
Cognitive science prepares students for a number of career paths in science, technology and education. Majors are prepared to continue doctoral training in cognitive science, cognitive psychology and human factors psychology leading to careers as university faculty and applied researchers. When coupled with further training in math and computer science, students can also go on for master-level graduate training in computer science and electrical engineering leading to careers in business and industry.
NROTC Berkeley is amongst the oldest ROTC units in the country. One of the original six ROTC units created, NROTC Berkeley was originally headed by the famous World War II fleet admiral, Chester W. Nimitz. Since then, NROTC Berkeley has been training college students in the disciplines of leadership, physical fitness, and military sciences. Over the years, the addition of cross-town affiliates, California Maritime Academy, University of California Davis, and Stanford has increased the number of officers the unit has commissioned into the Navy and Marine Corps. Today, the unit has four officers, two civilan staff members, and 60-70 midshipmen.
