Social Sciences (S1)
The social sciences focus on how individuals, groups, and institutions affect and interact with each other. Through systematic investigation, social scientists generate explanatory frameworks for understanding human behavior, action, and social practices. Studying social science prepares students to examine past and present social problems; to think critically about individual, local, regional, and global contexts; and to improve societal well-being.
Students will take 6 credits for the Social Science requirement, to be fulfilled by taking approved courses with the Social Science (S1) designation.
