science, technology, and society (sts) is an interdisciplinary program of study which integrates knowledge in the natural sciences and in technology as well as in history, philosophy, sociology, economics, political science, geography, and anthropology. sts examines the goals and practices of science and technology, including how such goals and practices are affected by economic, cultural, and political events, and conversely, how these events arein turn affected by developments in science and technology.

demand for sts majors: The sts major prepares students for jobs which require scientific and technological literacy as well as a broad perspective on science and technology and an ability to write and argue from this perspective. Such jobs include those in science and tech law, journalism, business, public interest advocacy, and public policy making.
