An interdisciplinary program of study is offered in the social sciences which leads to the degree of bachelor of arts.  This program allows students to design an individualized major combining courses from any three social sciences:  anthropology (excluding 103), economics, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology, and women's studies (WMS 201 and others by approval of the Social Science Program director).  Each student works with the program director to select courses with a focus on the student's interests and career plans. 

A Social Studies/Secondary Education Program is available to provide intensive training in social science for those seeking teaching careers in this field.
