"Science and Technology Studies" (STS) prepares students for careers that address the broader social, cultural, and political place of science, technology, and medicine. In addition to academic careers in STS, students may pursue activities in a variety of professional fields interested in scientific and technological change and its intersections with social, political, and economic dynamics.
These fields may include:
- Technology assessment
- User research / Participatory design
- Science policy
- NGO work
- Journalism
- Urban planning
- Museum work
The Institute also offers opportunities to pursue a PhD in STS after completing the degree program.
