The Bachelor of Science program in science, technology and society considers the impacts of science and technology on social, cultural and global issues. Information and communication technologies have changed the world in ways unimaginable 50 years ago. Everything, from the way humans are born to how they die, is driven by rapidly changing technologies. As these changes occur, it is important for organization managers and policymakers to understand the social, cultural, environmental and global implications of their actions and create responses and solutions that are forward-thinking. The questions concerning how science and technology change society are highly transdisciplinary and cultural. Students learn to understand the intricate interrelationships of science, technology and society, becoming prepared with technical skills and knowledge to promote change.
