Academic Advisement for Science, Technology, & Society Majors
The Science, Technology, & Society major is a highly customizable interdisciplinary curriculum with a lens on science and technology as social processes, inseparable from the values, politics, and institutions that shape them. Given the flexibility of the major, it is extremely important that students meet with an academic advisor every semester to ensure they are taking the classes needed to build the specialization of their intended academic and professional goals.
Where you get advised depends on the number of credits you currently have applying to the degree. To see the number of credits applying to your degree, please review your Degree Works.
Freshmen and Sophomores
Students with fewer than 59 credits applying to the degree must be seen by an STS Advisor in the Student Success and
