STP is a multi-disciplinary program that utilizes methods and concepts from the humanities and the social sciences to understand the complex interactions of science, technology and the social world, and to analyze how science and technology interact with public policy issues in economic growth, global health and security, empowering students to frame and to forecast science and technology in service of society as well as equipping them to build relevant models for the future.

The Integrated Social Sciences Division (ISSD) provides an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to understanding and applying the humanities and social sciences in contemporary society. ISSD students will explore interactions between civil society, finance, public policy, development, and technology. The program is well-suited for students who wish to acquire a well-balanced, multidisciplinary perspective, which blends the practical and theoretical frameworks necessary for becoming tomorrow’s leaders of society.
