Abstract:

Records of the director of Cultural and Technological Studies (CTS), a non-degree program initiated in 1973 by faculty of the College of Engineering and Applied Science, the College of Letters & Science, and the School of Architecture & Urban Planning. Included are the proposal, progress reports, and the final report to the National Endowment for the Humanities, which provided funding for this program. Curriculum records, arranged by the instructor who taught the course, contain course proposals, syllabi, and correspondence. Correspondence files contain documents soliciting ideas and support for the program from the associate dean of the College of Letters & Science as well as various faculty members from other universities. Also included are correspondence files which reflect the director's involvement in outside interests such as the American Public Works Association/Public Works Historical Society and the United Ministry in Higher Education. Flyers and correspondence regarding CTS-sponsored speakers who appeared at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 1980 and 1981 are also included in the collection.

Cultural and Technological Studies (CTS) was initiated in 1973 as an undergraduate non-degree program by faculty of the College of Engineering and Applied Science, the College of Letters & Science, and the School of Architecture & Urban Planning. Administratively, the program resided in the College of Engineering and Applied Science but did not have a separate teaching staff. In addition to the director and a historian, the associate faculty was recruited from faculty already at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In 1985, CTS was no longer listed as an interdepartmental study program. However, CTS courses were still listed separately in the College of Engineering and Applied Science until 1987.
