The minor in Science Fiction Studies (SFS) is for students who are interested in learning how people communicate the experience of science and technology across centuries, continents, and cultures. The two core LMC classes required for this minor teach students the history of science fiction across media. The three electives required to complete this minor enable students to connect their study of science fiction to issues of social justice, ethics, artistic practice, and the historic relations of science, technology, and culture. Students who pursue this minor will develop the analytic skills and creative mindsets that are crucial for graduate school and for advancements in careers ranging from education to engineering.
Please note: This minor is not allowed for BSLMC or BSCM students. LMC and CM students interested in science fiction studies should consult with their advisors about selecting an equivalent degree thread or creating a science fiction studies concentration.
