The social sciences study humans' behaviors and interactions, both with other humans and their physical environments. The social sciences include psychology, sociology, international relations, geography, history, political science, anthropology and economics. Each discipline emphasizes a different aspect of human behavior.
The social science major seeks to integrate these diverse fields, providing a coherent, holistic view of human behavior. The social sciences major may be particularly appropriate for students interested in working in government, law, business, or social services.
