The department of Integrative Humanities and Social Sciences offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Science, Technology, and Society (STS), the only degree program one of its kind in North Carolina. STS is unique among degrees in the ways it allows students to leverage coursework in the sciences with the humanities and social sciences. As a result, students聽analyze connections among science, technology, economics, domestic policy, international relations, the environment, health and medicine, and other crucial areas. By examining how technologies emerge, how they engage with society, how they change through social processes, and how society changes under technological influence, STS students develop critical thinking and research skills that apply to real-world problems. Additionally, STS students learn to analyze聽complex topics from multiple perspectives, present their ideas in a variety of formats, and consider the ethical dimensions of technological development and application.聽 STS students carry these competencies into careers ranging from data or public policy analyst to science educator (science writer, museum curator) to environmental consultant and more.聽
