Technology, Culture and Society

Our students can choose to pursue wide-ranging programs in Integrated Digital Media, Sustainable Urban Environments, or Science and Technology Studies — a flexible path that encourages them to combine their love of science with an understanding of its impacts on society, an ability to write about it clearly, and a devotion to applying it ethically. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the possibilities of augmented and virtual reality, work at the intersection of engineering and art, or become conversant with both the technical and social issues facing our world, Technology, Culture and Society might be the course of study for you.
