STS Academics
Society is shaped by science and technology to such a profound degree that to be an effective leader or citizen one must understand, engage and shape social, scientific and technical forces. Yet many people compartmentalize science, technology and society as if they were three separate and distinct domains of human experience, rather than understanding them as mutually interpenetrating and reciprocally shaping each other. The following are resources for faculty and students to help them develop and understand availability of courses for the STS Curriculum at Santa Clara University.
For questions about STS curriculum development please contact Keith Warner, Assistant Director of Education.
