Rapid advances in science and
technology characterize our age, provide us with benefits and opportunities, and supply ample edification as well as some considerable anxiety. The challenge for
today's university is to provide its students with the latest knowledge in
science and technology, while integrating that knowledge into a coherent and humane view
of the world. To do this requires
an understanding of human nature and achievement drawn from the humanities as
well as the sciences. Taking advantage of recent
scholarship on the philosophy, history, and sociology of science and
technology, and a diverse faculty already engaged in these subjects, the
Certificate in the Human Context of Science and Technology provides
undergraduates the opportunity to study systematically the interactions among
the humanities, the physical and social sciences, and technology.
Our program faculty and
staff hope you will find this subject as exciting and thought-provoking as do
we.
