Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law.

However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Science and Technology Studies

Minors

The interdisciplinary Science and Technology Studies (STS) minor provides students with the tools to understand and evaluate both the social contexts that give rise to particular scientific and technological developments, and the social consequences of these developments. It is designed for STEM majors who wish to consider the ethical, political and social dimensions of the fields in which they work, and non-STEM majors who wish to understand and evaluate the ways sciences and technologies shape human possibilities in particular historical and cultural circumstances. (SCITCHS-MN)
