Social Sciences 
The social sciences encompass major traditions of thought that provide frameworks for analyzing the challenges facing contemporary society. As the world becomes more interconnected and complex, the tools provided by the social sciences become increasingly important for understanding values, behaviors, and institutions. The social sciences requirement ensures that students learn to apply relevant theoretical perspectives, data-gathering techniques, and methodological approaches to diverse phenomena. These courses will also utilize appropriate methods of inquiry by introducing the systematic use of data, documentation, and experimentation relevant to particular fields or disciplines. Students will weigh the trade-offs of various approaches and will develop a framework that can be applied to one or more social issues.
