Calling all problem-solvers. Uncover meaningful ways to use math, science and technology to improve how humans live their day-to-day lives. The Bachelor of Arts in General Studies with an emphasis on Science, Technology, Health and Society teaches students how to employ math and science to find solutions to important world concerns in areas such as health, natural resources, conservation, sustainability, information science and engineering. Not only does this program encourage collaboration and creative thinking to find workable solutions, but it also gives students an understanding of the global context that surrounds science and technology. Additionally, students develop a critical awareness of the methods and limits of scientific inquiry while fostering observational and analytical skills, as well as skills in quantitative analysis and deductive reasoning.
