What is Social Sciences?
Social sciences explore how people live together, make decisions, and shape institutions by combining historical, cultural, economic, political, and psychological perspectives to study individuals, groups, communities, and societies; programs examine how power, inequality, identity, markets, law, and culture interact across local and global scales and blend classroom study with field observation, case analysis, and interdisciplinary inquiry to connect theory with real‑world problems.
What You Learn
As a student studying the social sciences you develop conceptual tools to explain social patterns, practical research skills to gather and interpret evidence, and professional competencies to apply findings—training typically includes social theory, research design, quantitative analysis (statistics, regression, survey methods), qualitative methods (ethnography, interviews, content analysis), basic spatial and data tools (GIS, R/Python/SPSS), and applied abilities in policy analysis, program evaluation, communication, and stakeholder engagement, preparing you for roles in government, research and analytics, NGOs, consulting, education, and further graduate or professional study.
