Internet, Science and Society MinorWriting Studies
College of Liberal Arts
This minor introduces students to the field of Internet studies and allows them to select from elective courses that focus on an area of interest. Areas of study might include legal or social issues, such as intellectual property on the Internet or ways in which gender stereotypes are both reinforced and modified online; how scientific and technical information is conveyed on the Internet and how the Internet is playing an important role in our ability to share cutting-edge information; or how controversies, such as current debates over genetically modified foods, are played out in cyberspace.
Students should work with the adviser in the Department of Writing Studies. Students must complete at least 18 credits for the minor.
