Master of Science Programs
HISTORY OF SCIENCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The master's program in the History of Science was the first of its kind to be offered in the New York City area. The need for advanced study of the growth of science and technology and their interactions with human society and values has become increasingly evident. Intense specialization has further heightened the need for understanding among various branches of science and the humanities.
In considering ideas, time, process, transfer and social changes in the history of science, students are able to explore the elusive connections that exist between science and engineering and the social sciences and humanities. Prospective teachers of science and engineering subjects are able to increase their effectiveness through knowledge of the history of their own and related disciplines. Polytechnic's libraries contain many important and rare works on the history of science, which may be used for original research.
