Science, Technology, & Society

Bachelor of Science Degree

The Science, Technology, & Society Bachelor of Science (BS) degree is a customizable interdisciplinary program that prepares students to confront complex issues and address emerging challenges which have arisen as a consequence of the interconnectedness of systems in the current era. Students in the Science, Technology, & Society program learn to apply methods of scientific thinking and integrative analysis to solve unstructured, real-world problems faced by individuals, organizations, industries, and societies in ways which cut across traditional boundaries of disciplinary thought.

Upon completing the degree, Science, Technology, & Society graduates will have obtained a broadly applicable set of high-value skills necessary to adapt and thrive in the ever changing workforce of the modern age. These skills are honed through upper-division courses in technical communication, data science, geographical information science, and organizational leadership. This STS skill-set is then applied in courses covering contemporary topics best addressed through a multi-perspective, interdisciplinary approach. Topics include the societal impact of technological change, environmental science, global affairs, and gender, race, and culture. The degree culminates in an applied learning capstone experience in which students can choose to enroll in a senior seminar or an internship relevant to their studies.

The Science, Technology, & Society curriculum is designed to develop within the students a problem solving skill-set defined by critical, integrative analysis. Such a skill-set will prepare students to engage head-on the challenges faced by future employers in the Long Island region and beyond. Further, the STS skill-set cultivates the intellectual agility required to succeed in the rapidly evolving professional landscape of the 21st century. By focusing on the interplay between science, technology, and social change, students graduate better equipped to anticipate emerging trends in the workforce and their impact on the future. The skills acquired in the Science, Technology, & Society program may be applied to a range of careers including those in the health professions, social welfare, science policy, and business.

Science, Technology, & Society (BS) Program Outcomes:

At the completion of any of the concentrations within the Science, Technology, & Society program:

  • Graduates will be able to synthesize solutions to 21st century problems on the local and global scale through the utilization of scientific thinking and interdisciplinary problem solving.
  • Graduates will be able to critically assess issues relevant to the modern workforce and identify internal and external drivers of change.
  • Graduates will demonstrate an ability to effectively communicate ideas of a technical nature and be able to appraise and anticipate their impact on society.
  • Graduates will demonstrate an understanding of the methods by which data science and geographical information science can provide valuable insight when addressing modern problems

In addition to the above program outcomes, graduates completing the STS pre-health track will meet the prerequisite requirements to enter their intended health professional program.

Admission to Farmingdale State College - State University of New York is based on the qualifications of the applicant without regard to age, sex, marital or military status, race, color, creed, religion, national origin, disability or sexual orientation.

Curriculum Summary

*FYE 101 First Year Experience is required for all first time full time students

Degree Type: BS
Total Required Credits: 121-123

Please refer to the General Education, Applied Learning, and Writing Intensive requirement sections of the College Catalog and consult with your advisor to ensure that graduation requirements are satisfied.

As a part of the SUNY General Education Framework, all first-time full time Freshman at Farmingdale State College (FSC) beginning Fall 2023, are required to develop knowledge and skills in Diversity: Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DEISJ). Students will be able to fulfill this requirement at FSC by taking a specially designated DEISJ course that has been developed by faculty and approved by the DEISJ Review Board. DEISJ-approved courses may meet other General Education Knowledge and Skills areas and/or core competencies and thus be dually designated. DEISJ-approved courses may also earn other special designations such as those for Applied Learning or Writing Intensive.
