Requirements

• A departmental major or the equivalent. Your major does not have to be in the College of Liberal Arts.
• 18 semester hours of coursework including:
  • STS 319 and STS 331
  • 9 hours of related coursework
  • STS 360 Capstone Seminar
• Courses required for the concentration may also be used to fulfill major, minor, or area requirements. Courses that are not on the list may be used with written consent of the advisor. Enrolling in STS does not require that you take additional hours for your degree.

Minor in STS

With the approval of the student's major department, any UT Austin student may earn a minor in Science, Technology & Society. Twelve hours are required for the minor, six of which must be upper-division. Six of the required twelve hours must be taken in residence.

*Note: A student's major department may in some cases have specific requirements for their student's to obtain a minor that differ slightly from the STS Program's requirements stated above. The STS Program Coordinator will assist each student individually on a case by case basis and will work with the student's major advisor to determine their requirements.

If you have questions about the requirements for the Concentration or Minor, feel free to contact the Program Coordinator or the Director.
