In this major, the students will choose one Primary Field and two Secondary Fields. The Primary Field is chosen from ten disciplines: anthropology, border studies, communication, geography, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology, and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Secondary Fields are chosen from: anthropology, border studies, communication, geography, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology, women’s , gender, and sexuality studies, and an Individualized Secondary Field. Students interested in the Social Sciences major are encouraged to discuss their education and career objectives with the Program Director.
