Students interested in a social science education respond to the diversity, complexity and range in their studies and career choices. The social sciences comprise the application of scientific methods to the study of human aspects of the world.

Many of the social science programs draw from multiple social science disciplines - social policy, social psychology, sociology, economics and politics. In addition, the first year often introduces various approaches and practices used in social science.
