Social Science (B.A.)

Southern New Hampshire University’s four-year social science program offers students a solid foundation in the content, methods and processes of the social sciences and helps them understand human behavior from a social science perspective.

Students can design a program that includes psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science or economics. Students will consult with their academic advisors when selecting their concentrations.

There is within the social science program a strong focus and commitment to the goals and objectives of the liberal arts core, which offers students a structured approach to attaining the general knowledge needed for meaningful study in their areas of concentration.
