The remaining 21 hours may be chosen from a list of STS courses
in various disciplines (See catalog of STS Courses listed on STS
website).
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.
