Critical Technological Studies | Bachelor of Science

The Bachelor of Science in Critical Technological Studies is an interdisciplinary degree that blends the technical foundations of Computer Science or Engineering with the communication, critical thinking, and creative strengths of Humanities.

Students choose 21 hours in one of two technical tracks—Computer Science or Engineering—and then complete an additional 21 hours in Humanities. This combination cultivates a rare and valuable skill set: the ability to think analytically and creatively, to solve complex problems, and to communicate ideas clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.

What career paths are available?

  • Technical Writing
  • Product Development
  • Facilities Management
  • Consumer Research
  • Policy Development and Implementation
  • Training and Development
