Innovation in Society

There is a Bacherlo or Arts, and Sciences and a Minor in innovation in society, taught both in person and online. It equips students with the tools needed to analyze how science, technology and other social forces shape our present and future. Students cultivate the critical thinking skills needed to develop creative strategies that steer innovation toward the needs and values of society.

Students are trained to synthesize research and theory from the social sciences, humanities, natural sciences and engineering so they can develop proposals for how to build better futures. This enables students to understand the broader context of their major and helps them mesh those studies with other disciplines to develop more encompassing solutions to important problems.
