 Return to: Academic Department, Degree and Program Information
The program in Science and Technology Studies allows students to dig beneath the headlines to understand the relations among science, technology, and society. The STS minor provides a foundation in science or engineering AND humanities and social sciences. Benefits of an STS minor include:
- Understanding how historical, philosophical, and social factors impact invention, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
- Exposure to key subjects in science and engineering fields and their impact on society, at a broad conceptual, yet non-trivial, level.
- An appreciation of the problem-solving techniques and practices that scientists and engineers engage in.
- Critical reasoning and analytical skills that employers seek.
The STS minor is open to all NYU majors. It includes 16 credits in STS. One of the core courses in STS must be taken at NYU-Polytechnic.

2. Elective Requirements:
Remaining credit requirements (12 credits) must be satisfied by courses chosen from the STS Cluster of electives from the Department of Technology, Culture and Society department or by approval by the STS advisor. At least one course must taken at NYU-Polytechnic. Please note: not all STS electives have an STS course prefix.
