Social Sciences
Training students in the science of service
We recognize that most, if not all, of our graduates will go on to helping professions in counseling, education, politics, social work, and more. That’s a responsibility we take seriously, forming the world’s next generation of helpers, and so our classes focus on cultivating that sense of honesty and compassion integral to these fields. Here, you’ll find small class sizes, caring faculty, and plenty of opportunities for discussion and giving back.
Let’s go change the world, together.
