Social Science Major with Inclusive Childhood/Middle Childhood Education Major

|
 Return to: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A-Z
The social science major integrates five academic disciplines: anthropology, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology. Students select one of these disciplines upon which to concentrate their studies. However, they have some exposure to all five disciplines before completing the major. Many students combine the social science major with the inclusive childhood/middle childhood education major and become teachers. Others go on to attend graduate school or pursue a variety of careers related to working with people.
Required
Introductory courses in four of the five Social Science disciplines: Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology; a specialization of 12 credits beyond the introductory course in one of the Social Science disciplines (see below for required courses for each specialization); 9 credits upper-division, from among the other four Social Science disciplines; SSC 444. A minimum of three credits in each Social Science discipline, introductory or upper-division is required. The senior experience consists of a senior seminar (SSC 444) which integrates material from social science and other liberal arts core areas (history, philosophy, religious studies, literature, natural sciences, mathematics, fine arts), and a senior comprehensive (SSC 499).
The Social Science major may be combined with the Inclusive Childhood/Middle Childhood Education major.
