Science Technology and Society undergraduate at Lehigh University
Science, Technology, and Society
The Science, Technology, and Society (STS) program is the product of a continuing inter-college effort to create a common ground from which to explore the relations between science, technology and society- between ideas, machines and values. The program serves as a focal point for a wide range of courses that study the nature of science and of technology, as well as analyze their social and personal implications. It lends coherence and visibility to offerings otherwise dispersed through the catalog. The major in science, technology and society prepares students for graduate study or for a variety of career opportunities. The program also offers a minor which is open to all undergraduates.
