Five-Year B.S./M.S. in the School of History and Sociology

The B.S./M.S. in the School of History and Sociology allows undergraduate students in the History, Technology, and Society major to complete a Master’s in the History and Sociology of Technology and Science in just one extra year.

Students can double-count six credit hours of graduate-level undergraduate coursework toward both the Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, reducing the time and cost required to complete the M.S.

The program offers two tracks in Technology and Science and Politics, Power, and Inequality. The technology and science track explores technology and science from a historical and sociological perspective, while the politics, power, and inequality track examines contemporary issues such as racial justice, urbanization, globalization, environmental change, and labor and workforce transitions.
