Mathematics, Multimedia, Public Safety, Society, Technology, engineering, sociology
Study the social, historical and intellectual impacts of science, innovation and technology on our world. This program is great preparation for advanced work in humanities or in fields that bridge writing and technology.
Science and technology shape every facet of modern human life, but all too frequently, the underlying histories and ideas go unexamined. The minor program in the history of science, technology and innovation helps you understand how society reached its present state. The program also prompts you to reflect on what the future might hold by providing a foundation in the social and intellectual issues central to the intertwined histories of science, technology and ideas.

Current ASU undergraduate students may pursue a minor and have it recognized on their ASU transcript at graduation. Minor requirements appear on the degree audit once the minor is added. Certain major and minor combinations may be deemed inappropriate by the college or department of either the major program or the minor. Courses taken for the minor may not count toward both the major and minor.
Minor programs enable students to develop additional competencies that complement the marketable knowledge and skills they acquire in their majors.
A minor in the history of science, technology and innovation can help students as they pursue careers in education, historical interpretation and conservation, law, compliance and regulation of technology, or any position that requires critical thinking, research and writing skills.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
