Description Contents Requirements Funding

The Social Sciences major integrates four Social Science emphases (Anthropology, History, Political Science, and Sociology) into a comprehensive program designed to enhance students’ understanding of the world of the past, present and future through the application of social scientific research skills to domestic, regional and global problems, as well as issues of diversity. The major provides practical insights into why and how the world(s) we live in work the way they do. Students interested in graduate school receive suitable grounding in a specific Social Science emphasis. When taken as part of an integrated Secondary Education program, the major trains students for professional teaching.

The Social Sciences major can prepare students for careers not only in teaching but also law, politics, journalism, historical preservation, cultural resource management, or for running their own business and anything involving finding and understanding new information (research). The major’s focus on independent learning provides opportunity for students to prepare for a wide variety of leadership positions in community and business.
