Social Sciences Major  
MAAAGX 
K24 BACHELOR OF ARTS (EDUCATION) BACHELOR OF ARTS 
 

The challenges the world faces require big picture people. The Social Sciences major is one way to get the big picture. Through a combination of units in history, politics, and sociology, students take an interdisciplinary approach to their studies. This is because contemporary problems are into neatly packaged. Employers want flexible people who have solid writing and analytical skills and a good general knowledge. Workers in the private and public sectors – teachers, journalists, civil servants and business people – look at a wide range of problems because the workplace is inherently interdisciplinary. The Social Sciences major is too.

 

The Major in Social Sciences comprises 120 credit points (eight (8) units) with no more than 30 credit points (two (2) units) at Level One and no less than 60 credit points (four (4) units) at Level Three.
