College of Social Sciences
The College of Social Sciences prepares students for impactful careers in technology, business, government, scientific research, communication, and law, while empowering them as democratic participants in a rapidly changing world. Our graduates serve as leaders, champions, and advocates for our communities.
All of our programs support students’ academic excellence, provide opportunities for research projects, and applied research and practice. Students have direct experience engaging and addressing critical social issues and developing blueprints for a just and sustainable world.
