Bachelor [Social Science] From University of Wyoming

The degree in Social Sciences is organized as a multidisciplinary program with a list of appropriate courses approved by participating departments and programs. For this major, students select four areas of foci and plan a course of study to prepare for a variety of professional and career interests. Ideally, students should select areas of emphases and courses that establish a cohesive program of inquiry with a thematic connection, rather than a disparate collection of courses. In searching for positions in the workforce, you should be able to talk about your studies and objectives in a meaningful way.

For this major, you may want to focus your study in history, geography, economics, and sociology to understand diverse behaviors, beliefs, and cultural practices that have shaped groups, societies, and nations and their interactions through time and be able to analyze, influence, and adapt to the challenges of the future.?

Another approach in this major may be to explore diversity in the United States and how public policy addresses issues and concerns of ethnic minority groups by focusing on courses in African American and Diaspora studies, American Indian studies, Latina(o) studies, and political science.
