HTS Major Information for Current Students

History, Technology, and Society (HTS) is an interdisciplinary major comparable to traditional majors in history and sociology, but offers several unique attributes which gives HTS majors an edge over other liberal arts majors. A degree in HTS requires broad-based training in humanities, mathematics, computing, science, and social sciences, giving our majors a truly rigorous and broad education. The HTS program offers a distinctive focus on global issues related to the origin and impact of technology and science providing students with the critical tools needed to understand the development of the modern world.
