The Master of Science in Science and Technology Studies examines the interplay between science, technology, and society through diverse academic perspectives. STS research investigates how social factors influence the creation and application of scientific, technological, and medical advancements, as well as how these innovations impact communities. Our faculty's expertise spans multiple disciplines: some conduct fieldwork, others delve into historical or policy archives, while some employ theoretical frameworks to address conceptual or ethical issues.
We study how societal forces shape scientific progress and technological adoption, and conversely how these developments transform society.
Our faculty's academic pursuits transcend traditional disciplinary lines.
Ideal for students seeking immersive graduate education at Virginia's premier research institution.
