Social Studies Degrees

Social Sciences

The Division of Social Sciences is composed of the Departments of Economics, Educational Studies, Geography, History, Political Science, and Sociology and Anthropology, as well as the International Relations Program.

Beyond seven concentration programs, the division supervises — under a social sciences topical concentration — additional programs that cannot be completed in a single department. Concentrators in this area often are students who require work in other divisions. Typical programs are those concerned with urban studies, philosophy and law, sociology and psychology, or society and science. In some cases the division director of the contributing discipline may assume advisory responsibilities.
