Social Sciences Division


Return to: College of Arts and Sciences  

The Social Sciences Division encompasses the history, theory, and investigation of societies, systems, regions, groups and individuals. These are central concerns of the departments of African American Studies, Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Political Science, Public Affairs, Psychology, Sociology, International Relations and Women’s Studies. Hence most courses satisfying the Social Sciences Division requirements come from these departments.
