Bachelor of Arts Social Sciences

As our society evolves, it’s becoming increasingly important for us to understand each other and the relationships that form the foundation of our lives. The study of social sciences gives us a new perspective about ourselves, each other and how we interact.

Human behavior is at the core of everything we do. As a student in the Social Sciences program at St. Scholastica, you will gain a wide array of knowledge and expertise by taking courses in psychology, sociology, gerontology, economics and political science. Courses will examine key issues like diversity in the United States, social change and psychosocial aspects of aging.

These studies provide solid preparation for graduate or professional areas such as law, human services and public administration.

Program graduates have gone on to work in areas ranging from politics and government to human and social services and education. With the broad foundation gained from St. Scholastica’s cutting-edge social sciences program, plenty of meaningful career opportunities are ahead.
