Social Science

62 credit hours - Program Code: ALASS

A concentration in any of the social sciences provides excellent preparation for students who aspire to careers in law, mental health, or education, as well as for those seeking employment in social science organizations, government service, and community organizations. The curriculum has been designed with very few required courses and many electives in order to allow students maximum flexibility for exploration. Students continuing their education at a four-year college or university will be expected to major in a particular subject area. A bachelor’s degree is essential for most entry-level positions. Students interested in pursuing a career in the social sciences or education should possess a genuine concern for others and a desire to help people improve the quality of their lives. The ability to communicate well both orally and in writing is an essential skill for anyone considering a career in these areas.
