The
History of Science and Technology is a dynamic interdisciplinary field
of scholarship that studies the development of science and technology
in
their broader cultural context. The field is growing rapidly as people
realize that science and technology are themselves among the most
important
cultural phenomena of the modern age. The Program in the History of
Science
and Technology at the University of
Minnesota
ranks among the country's best. It offers both M.A. and Ph.D. degrees,
with comprehensive opportunities for advanced research and study in
history
of the physical sciences, the biological sciences, and technology.
Within
these areas, students are encouraged to make use of the perspectives
and
methods of intellectual, institutional, social, economic, and cultural
history.
