Westminster's Social Sciences Program

Why Study Social Science?

A variety of career opportunities are available to social science majors and minors. Graduate programs in all of the social sciences and many other disciplines will look favorably on your understanding of human behavior from multiple perspectives. A degree also helps prepare you for such options as law school, medical school, or social work. You might decide to work in secondary education teaching social studies, or in various other organizations that are concerned with policy making centered around helping people.
