History of Science, Technology, and Medicine Minor

The undergraduate minor in the history of science, technology, and medicine (HSTM) combines coursework in the history of science and technology (HSCI) with coursework in the history of medicine (HMED) to build a humanistic background to the basic applied sciences, technologies, and/or healthcare professions. Students interested in the HSTM minor should consult with the director of undergraduate studies for the HSTM program and draw up a plan of study that represents a coherent theme within the history of sciences, technology, and medicine. Normally such a coherent program entails survey coursework in the history of science, the history of technology, or the history of medicine, along with more advanced historical work around a specific field (science, technology, or medicine) or theme (focus on a particular time period, geographical focus, type of history, etc.).
