The Social Sciences Division at Pitt-Johnstown offers a broad Interdisciplinary major that is a study of the Social Sciences. All baccalaureate degree programs in the social sciences require completion of a core of introductory courses across all social science fields, many of which offer international and applied perspectives.
Students build a personalized course of study by combining coursework from the Social Sciences Division's academic programs, including Criminal Justice, Environmental Sustainability, Geography, History, Political Science, Sociology, and related disciplines. This flexible major allows students to tailor their education to their interests and career goals while developing strong analytical, research, communication, and critical thinking skills.
Internships, study abroad opportunities, and other experiential learning experiences help students apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings. Graduates are prepared for careers in government, law, law enforcement, human services, healthcare, conservation, business, nonprofit organizations, and research, as well as graduate and professional study.
