What Can I Do with a Major in History, Technology, and Society?

Overview of Major

This program is comparable to traditional liberal arts degrees in history and sociology but offers unique advantages. It provides a distinctly rigorous and broad-based education by requiring training in humanities, mathematics, computing, science, and social sciences. The program is also distinctive for its focus on global issues related to the origin and impact of technology and science, providing students with the critical tools needed to understand the development of the modern world.
