Science and Technology Studies (Minor)

Program Description

The Science and Technology Studies Minor consists of coursework that examines the complex issues around how scientific and technological knowledge determine how we understand society, and how science and technology are shaped by society.

Applying for the Minor

Apply for a minor in Albert using the link in the My Academics section of the Student Center.

Students should apply for the minor before applying for graduation. After applying for the minor, the application is then forwarded to the Home School Advising Office, Host School Advising Office, Host School Department/Program, and the Academic Dean’s office.

The departmental advisers governing the minor will have access to approve or disapprove the minor online using the Graduation Tracking Search page. If a student is registered for a course for the minor during their last semester, the adviser can still set the status to departmental approved pending current courses.

The STS minor is open to all NYU majors. It includes 16 credits in STS. One of the core courses in STS must be taken at Tandon.
