Bachelor of Arts [B.A] Communication of Science and Technology

  • The Communication of Science and Technology major at Vanderbilt is unique in that it was invented by students in the early 2000s as an independent contract major and continues as an interdisciplinary major, with a small team of supportive faculty advisors, but with no formal home department.
  • Both the major and minor in the Communication of Science and Technology are interdisciplinary. Students must take advanced courses in writing and public speaking and are encouraged to take courses in video and film production.  These courses provide a broad, three-legged foundation of communication skills that are invaluable for students in any profession. Students must take at least five science and engineering courses; of these, at least three must be advanced courses in one or more scientific disciplines; up to two of these courses may be engineering courses.  Students also take a course that bridges the sciences with non-science content and issues (for example, Public Policy or Medicine, Health, and Society courses), a statistics course, and a selection of electives.
