Program Description:
Students enrolled in this
program have an excellent opportunity to explore the various social and
behavioral sciences while completing requirements in other academic
areas such as the humanities, mathematics, and biological and physical
sciences.
The Social Science curriculum is an excellent
transfer program since it parallels the first two years of most
baccalaureate liberal arts programs. Most graduates are able to transfer
with sufficient credits to complete their bachelor’s degree in two
additional years of full-time study.
The Social Science curriculum is an excellent
starting point for students interested in careers in teaching
(elementary, secondary, and college), pre-professional programs (such as
law and medicine), business, government, social work, non-profit
organizations, and international agencies.
