Philosophy, Science, and Technology Certificate
About the Program
Only available to currently enrolled Drexel students.
The certificate in Philosophy, Science, and Technology provides an excellent opportunity for undergraduate students in all majors to deepen and broaden their educational experience by exploring issues related to science and technology. What is the nature and scope of natural science? What should count as "knowledge" as opposed to "opinion"? How do the sciences produce knowledge? How do philosophers think about the reality of space, time, and mathematics? What is the role played by their technical apparatus in the ways scientists think about the things they study? Is technology a neutral factor in human life and history? What is our responsibility to the environment? These and many other questions will be explored.
Contact your academic advisor in order to add this certificate to your program.
