POLICIES FOR ALL STS MAJORS

  • AP credit does not count toward the STS major.
  • Students are responsible for any prerequisites. It is recommended that STS majors take the Math Calculus sequence (or have AP credit), as many technical courses approved for concentrations require it.
  • Courses taken for the STS core requirements cannot be double-counted for the concentration area.
  • Students may petition up to 5 units of approved individual research towards their concentration area.
  • Students may petition only one Stanford, BOSP, or SIW course from outside the list of approved courses to count toward their STS degree plan (subject to staff approval). Additionally, STS majors are encouraged to nominate courses to be permanently added to concentration course menus. Course petition and course nomination forms are available on the STS website.
  • Transfer students may petition equivalent and/or relevant STS coursework from institutions outside Stanford University, provided the Registrar has already awarded transfer credit. All such petitions are subject to approval by the STS faculty director.
  • All degree courses must be taken (1) for a letter grade where offered and (2) for at least the minimum amount of units listed above and approved for STS, even if the course offers registration for fewer credits.
