Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes are used to evaluate students and the Science, Technology, and Society Program. The program expects undergraduate majors to be able to demonstrate the following learning outcomes:

1. Knowledge of core theories and methods in the interdisciplinary field of STS

2. An ability to deploy these theories and methods to analyze interactions between science, technology, and society in particular historical and cultural contexts

3. An ability to critically evaluate empirical evidence and theoretical claims in STS-related debates

4. An ability to communicate clearly and persuasively about STS issues to a general audience in multiple media, including oral presentation and writing
