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.

In the BA in Social Sciences program at St. Scholastica, you’ll dive deep into the dynamics of society as you study courses in psychology, sociology, gerontology, economics and political science. Explore powerful topics such as diversity in the United States, the psychological dimensions of aging, and the mechanics of social change to understand and address challenges.

Program graduates have gone on to work in areas including politics and government, human and social services, and education. Others have pursued graduate studies in law, human services and public administration.
