Co-curricular requirements: STS majors must participate in at
least six designated co curricular activities during their time at
Butler--typically public lectures or other events concerned with
STS issues. The Director of STS will publish a calendar of events
that can be used to meet this requirement. Students must submit a
report describing their impression of the event to director of the
STS program.
