​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Program Description

As a social science student, you’ll study the connections among sociology, history, political science, geography and economics. This major complements studies in communications, entrepreneurship, environmental studies, geographic information science, journalism, leadership and military science.​​

The Social Science Major is an interdisciplinary program useful for students with a general interest in the social sciences. The major complements a wide variety of minors in the social sciences as well as minors in communications, entrepreneurship, sustainability and environmental policy, geographic information science, journalism, leadership, and military science. The major is also a flexible program useful for students who are changing their majors late in their undergraduate program. The Social Science major is similar to the social studies major, but does not lead to K-12 certification. Students will be assigned an advisor in their focus area or be advised by the Chair of the Social Science Council.
