The School
|
The university’s School of Social Sciences houses five academic programs: Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Social Sciences, and Sociology.
Four of the programs, Anthropology, Economics, Geography, and Sociology, grant discipline-specific Bachelor of Arts degrees, most with specialized content and skills-based emphases. Two of the School’s B.A. programs, Geography and the multidisciplinary Social Sciences B.A., incorporate teacher education components. The School’s degree offerings include a graduate program which leads to a Social Science M.A. in Clinical Sociology.
Programs within the School of Social Sciences are collectively involved in the study of past and present human behavior related to the structure and function of social, cultural, economic, and human-environment (ecological) systems in American and non-American societies in diverse geographic locales throughout the world.
The school’s faculty is multi-faceted and talented in all areas of teaching and scholarship, having received numerous college and university awards for teaching, service, and scholarship.
The school’s member programs and faculty are dedicated to the maintenance and continual enhancement of a positive and challenging learning environment designed to prepare our students for rewarding careers and service in the emerging world of the 21st Century.
Degrees in the Social Sciences prepare students for a wide array of rewarding careers in government, the private sector, and academia.
