Objectives for the Program in Social Science

The Social Science minor was designed for students in elementary, early childhood, middle and special education who also take an Interdisciplinary Studies major. It also can be taken by other majors who have an interest.

Requirements for the Minor in Social Science

The minor requires six courses, 18 credit hours, from among the Social Science disciplines. One Economics course, one Political Science course, and three History courses, one from each of the three History sub-fields (United States History, European History, and Non-Western History or World Civilizations).

In schematic form:

1 Non-western/World Civilizations History course
1 elective from any Economics, History, or Political Science Discipline
