Southern New Hampshire University’s four-year social science program is designed to offer students a solid foundation in the content, methods and processes of the social sciences and to help them develop an understanding of human behavior from a social science perspective.

The social science major features an interdisciplinary course of study designed for students who want to focus on a concentration in the social sciences. Students can design a program that includes psychology, sociology, anthropology, government, economics and history. Students will consult with their academic advisers when selecting their concentrations.

There is within the social science program a strong focus and commitment to the goals and objectives of the liberal arts core, which offers students a structured approach to attaining the general knowledge needed for meaningful study in their areas of concentration.
