The minor in Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies explores the intersections linking science fiction studies, science and technology studies (STS), and technoculture studies. The program examines the histories and cultures of science, technology, and medicine to understand the role that culture has always played in the production of science and the reciprocal way that changes in science and technology have shaped culture. The program uniquely emphasizes the role of popular culture and the genre of science fiction in partricular in mediating public understandings of science, serving as an imaginative testing ground for technological innovation, and articulating hopes and anxieties regarding technocultural change. Drawing on faculty from across CHASS, the Science Fiction and Technoculture Studies minor enables students to develop a critical understanding of the cultures of science and their dialectical exchange with contemporary popular culture.

Sociology is the scientific study of human behavior, interaction and organization. It provides a historical and comparative perspective on human societies and offers a framework for understanding society and the complex social world.

Students majoring in sociology can choose between a B.A. or B.S. degree. The department also offers majors in Sociology/Administrative Studies, and Sociology/Law and Society; as well as a minor in sociology. All students must meet quarterly prior to course enrollment with the student affairs officer or the undergraduate advisor to develop a program of studies.

Students who meet the departmental requirements for academic excellence are invited at the end of their junior year to participate in the Sociology Undergraduate Honors Program during their senior year. The students enroll in SOC 195 to work on an honors thesis under the supervision of a faculty member, for a total of 12 units distributed over three quarters. Students in the program also participate in SOC 199H, a year-long seminar led by the chair of Undergraduate Affairs Committee, for which they receive a total of 3 additional units of credit.

The EAP is an excellent opportunity to travel and learn more about another country and its culture while taking courses to earn units toward graduation. Students should plan study abroad well in advance to ensure that the courses taken fit with their overall program at UCR. Consult the departmental student affairs officer for assistance.
