Social sciences is an interdisciplinary program that includes sociology, political science, economics, psychology, and any other discipline that applies scientific methodology and quantitative analysis to human behavior. The research skills, critical thinking, and ability to recognize and measure statistical patterns that you will develop as a social science student will be valuable in advertising, public policy, and many other careers. The social sciences major is also an excellent choice for students who want to explore a variety of social sciences before choosing a discipline to pursue in greater depth.
