The Interdisciplinary Social Sciences program, leading to the B.A. degree, is for students desiring broad exposure to the social sciences. A normal program includes 30-36 sh of social science coursework. Several areas of emphases are available. Coursework for these specializations is drawn from anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, social work, and sociology.
Students interested in obtaining certification to teach this subject area in secondary education need to contact an advisor in this department and in Teacher Education Student Services (Building 85, Room 113) to carefully plan the course work to satisfy degree and some teacher certification requirements. A degree in this major is required for participation in the approved teacher education program and for other certification options.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
In addition to general University requirements and General Studies requirements, students seeking the B.A. in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences must meet the requirements listed below.
Consult with your academic advisor for courses which may satisfy both the General Studies requirement and common prerequisites.
A Pre-Civil Service Specialization prepares students for civil service employment. A Pre-Law Specialization prepares students for law school. Both specializations emphasize political science.
Psychology is the primary discipline for this specialization designed for those planning to enter a formal ministerial program or to become otherwise involved in church activities. Emphasis is on preparation for administrative and helping roles.
