The social science minor is an interdisciplinary program that exposes students to core concepts and methods in the social sciences. Students completing this minor will learn how to integrate the methods and perspectives of different social science disciplines to critically examine and understand social issues. Courses include an integrative course that examines perspectives and methods from anthropology, psychology, and sociology; an integrative course focusing on economic, geographic, historical and political science perspectives and methods; and electives taken in any of the behavioral and social science disciplines. The minor is intended for students whose academic and career goals include a broad introduction to the social sciences.
