UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES Students who wish to pursue the history and philosophy of science and technology should major in the Department of History, which offers an interdisciplinary major in History and Science, in the Department of Philosophy, which offers a specific degree in History and Philosophy of Science, or in the Program in Human Biology, which offers a concentration in history of science and medicine. A concentration in the anthropology of science or in ancient science can be arranged with the departments of Cultural and Social Anthropology and Classics respectively. Thematic concentrations in history of science and technology or history and philosophy of science are also possible within the Program in Science, Technology and Society (STS). Alternatively, students may consult with a member of the Committee-in-Charge to construct an individually designed major. The major must conform to the requirements for Individually Designed Majors (see the "Individually Designed Majors" section of the Stanford Bulletin).

GRADUATE DEGREES

Students can pursue a Ph.D. in HPST through the departments of History and Philosophy. Students can pursue an M.A. in HPST through any of the participating departments and programs. Students completing the requirements of the HPST program for the M.A. or Ph.D. (including appropriate dissertation work) graduate with a diploma stating their concentration in HPST. In addition, students may also participate in the HPST program on a non-degree basis. The degree and program requirements are as follows:

All students participating in the program are required to attend the HPST colloquium series and are expected to present their own research at least once in the course of their studies at Stanford. The colloquium series meets four times per quarter as a one-unit course.

All students participating in the program take the HPST core graduate seminar (a one quarter, 6-unit course). This course is offered every other year, crosslisted in HPST, History, and Philosophy, and is team-taught by two faculty as an introduction to historical and philosophical perspectives on science and technology. In alternate years, both History and Philosophy offer their departmental core seminars in history or philosophy of science and technology respectively. The core seminars are designated each year by the HPST program committee.

In addition to the HPST colloquium series, all doctoral students in HPST complete a four-course sequence:

1. HPST core seminar
2. Department core seminar in History or Philosophy
3. One elective seminar in history of science and/or technology
4. One elective seminar in philosophy of science and/or technology
