Today, nearly all facets of society are impacted by digital technology. From AI to social media and virtual reality, digital tech is becoming central to the way we work, our political culture and economy, the art we consume, and even the quality of our personal relationships. Georgetown’s undergraduate Technology, Ethics and Society (TES) Program gives students tools to understand and evaluate the way digital technology is shaping our world, and to imagine new ways to ensure that it serves human values.
TES programs equip students to become responsible technologists, designers, policy makers and activists, as well as informed citizens that will contribute to our broader public understanding of how technological change can be harnessed for good.
Students can choose from three interdisciplinary programs:
– Major in Computer Science, Ethics and Society
– Interdisciplinary TES Minor, open to all majors
– Computer Science Concentration in Tech, Ethics and Society.
The TES program also hosts events and speakers throughout the year.
Interested in one of the TES programs? Fill out the TES interest form.
