As the pace of change accelerates, businesses, government institutions, and nonprofit organizations are faced with increasingly complex issues. To meet these challenges, they need people who understand social systems and the world that surrounds them. Communities also need people who are driven by a desire to make a tangible difference in society.  With a degree in Social Science from UMUC, you’ll acquire the sociological perspective that is critical for working effectively in today's multiethnic and multinational business environment.

A major in Social Science provides a broad educational base for many rewarding professions such as law, criminal justice, education, medicine, social work, and counseling.  It also offers valuable preparation for careers in journalism, politics, public relations, business, or public administration—fields that involve investigative skills and working with diverse groups. Because employers seek people with the skills that an undergraduate education in Social Science provides, the knowledge you’ll gain will always be in demand.
