Fall 2022 Courses
The following courses from departments and programs around the university will
count for credit towards an STS degree. Core STS courses are considered to be

themes in the field. Finally, some courses are designated in belonging to one or
more of the three Tracks of Study (Track I: Bodies, Health, and Medicine; Track
II: Science and the State; Track III: Math, Maps, and Modeling).
The degree information page explains how these categories relate to the degree requirements.
