I. Concentrations
A. Concentration in Science, Technology, and Medicine Studies (48 units)
Drawing from the traditions of critical science studies scholarship in a wide variety of disciplines, this concentration examines the social and cultural dimensions of science and its technological and medical applications. While deepening students' knowledge of the sciences, the concentration explores the social and cultural imperatives that shape science and its applications. It also studies the influence of the sciences on social formations and cultural productions. The concentration is designed for students interested in science-focused careers in law, journalism, education, publishing, government, business, and non-profit work. Students interested in careers in medicine should consult with the health careers advisement office (King Hall room D1044) to discuss the recommended courses and preparation appropriate for their career goals. No more than 12 units can be taken in any one department.

B. Concentration in Women's and Gender Studies (48 units)
The Women's and Gender Studies Concentration is an interdisciplinary program of study that takes as its central object of study gender in culture and society. This concentration draws from the traditions of feminist scholarship in a wide variety of disciplines, from the natural and social sciences through the humanities and arts. Although the field of women's studies has always looked at the construction of gender and gendered roles and representations, the use of "gender studies" makes the focus both general and specific: students critically analyze gender in the context of class, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, and explore gender as a category that structures power, as a set of cultural meanings to be interpreted, and as a set of bodily performances.
