Department of Science, Technology, and Society
The graduate program in science and technology studies at Virginia Tech prepares students to be productive and publicly engaged scholars, advancing research and making a difference. This program — administered by the Department of Science, Technology, and Society — has two locations that share faculty and a common curriculum. Some courses are teleconferenced across campuses. Both locations offer the master’s in science (M.S.) and the Ph.D.
The Department also offers a set of undergraduate minors and courses that can provide a supplement to a range of majors from across the University for students who are looking to engage with the social context and relevance of science and technology.
