Social Sciences
Social Sciences
Broaden your understanding of global cultures and workplaces by studying the technologies and global economic activity that draws societies together. Challenge yourself to understand cultures that may differ dramatically from your own and learn to think abstractly, formulate problems, ask appropriate questions, search for objective answers, analyze situations and data, and clearly organize material. You’ll develop critical thinking and communication abilities that prepare you to research, write about, and discuss these important social issues on a scholarly level.
