The Center for Humanities, Technology, and Science (C-HTAS) promotes humanistic inquiry into the origins and growth, as well as the ethical and cultural impact of technological innovation and scientific knowledge. HTAS is an interdisciplinary humanities center designed to promote and disseminate research that bridges the perceived gap between technical and non-technical fields of study.

HTAS provides rigorous theoretical and applied research that informs both the academy and the general public. Through interdisciplinary research and outreach, the Center will

• Promote inquiry into the social, cultural, philosophical, and historical perspectives that impact and frame the understanding, development, and implementation of technology and science 
• Provide local, regional, national, and international leadership on issues affecting the humanities, technology, and science
• Develop partnerships with local, regional, national, and international entities
• Disseminate research results in academic venues and public arenas
• Expand the intellectual matrix of the University by providing venues for outside speakers, seminars, and conferences
• Assist all Humanities faculty in seeking external funding sources and preparing fundable proposals (proposals do not have to be part of the HTAS mission)
• Provide graduate and undergraduate students with research opportunities to support and complement their educational experiences
