Admission to the Program

The admission process follows the U.S. graduate school model: An admission interview with the entire program faculty after submitting a CV, academic transcripts, and an essay of approximately 1,500 words.

The essay topic will be one of four options:
(1) Analysis of a technological artifact and its place within the social, political, and cultural fabric in which it exists.
(2) Analysis of a scientific discovery (from ancient times to the present) and its social, political, cultural context, etc.
(3) Analysis of a canonical text in the discipline (from a list of about two hundred canonical texts).
(4) A personal statement describing the candidate's background and what motivated them to study in the Science, Technology and Society program.
