The Program. Science and Society is an interdepartmental
teaching program administered by the
College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
that offers students throughout the campus the opportunity
to discover the connections that link the social,
biological, and physical sciences with societal issues
and cultural discourses. Course work examines discovery
processes in relation to societal values, public
policy and ethics, including issues associated with
cultural diversity. Whenever possible, opportunities
outside the classroom are included as part of the
learning experience.
The Science and Society teaching program serves
students of all majors and interests. It can allow
lower division students who have not yet declared a
major a meaningful context for exploring diverse
subject matters. The minor for the program includes,
in addition to Science and Society courses, upper
division courses from both the College of Agricultural
and Environmental Sciences and the College of
Letters and Science in the areas of history and philosophy
of science, policy and decision making,
communication of science, and culture, ethics and
applications.
