Courses
Our Social Sciences major consists of 62 semester hours (sh)—of which 50 sh comprise a concentration in sociology, a minor in psychology, and coursework in political science, while 12 sh are completed as field placement experiences and a final applied project at a human service agency.
This program is convenient for students who have 60 credits or less of transfer credit and would like a “lock step” adult program.
