<blockquote type="cite" cite>The Program in Science, Technology and
Society (STS) is offering two new subjects this fall and four in the
spring. The fall descriptions are below, and all six are listed
at <a
href="http://web.mit.edu/sts/academic/newsubjects.html"
>http://web.mit.edu/sts/academic/newsubjects.html</a> (including a new
CI-H subject, STS.034 Science Communication: A Practical
Guide).</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Our classes offer students an opportunity
to study how science and technology are integral and determining
elements of nature, culture, and history. Nearly all STS undergraduate
subjects carry either a HASS-D or HASS Elective designation, and
students can concentrate, minor or double major in STS.</blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite>Our website has recently been
re-designed, and we have lots of information for undergraduates posted
