About the Major
Social Science is an interdisciplinary contract major offered
through the School of Social Science and Human Services. It
is designed to enable students with specialized interests in
the Social Sciences to develop, in collaboration with a faculty
advisor, a coherent program of courses in areas of inquiry for
which regular majors are not offered, allowing students to explore
specialized or emerging fields. Examples of such programs include,
but are not limited to:
- Africana
Studies
- Community
Mental Health
- Cultural
Studies
- Ethnic
Relations
- Gender
Studies
- Labor
Studies
It is recommended
that students consider combining their major concentration with
an appropriate minor (e.g. Sociology, Psychology, Substance
Abuse, Women’s Studies, African-American Studies, Latin
American Studies, Economics).
Each of the concentrations requires 33-40 credits of coursework,
at least 6 of which must be at the upper level. In addition,
students with this major complete the 23-credit School Core
of Social Science and Human Services. Since the choice of concentration
and design of the major are individualized, interested students
are encouraged to contact the convener early in their college
careers.
The major is offered by the School of Social Science and Human
Services and leads to a BA degree. |
