What does the Social Sciences DAE do?

The social sciences explore the patterns of human behavior, and researchers in these disciplines study a wide array of topics from the intricacies of complex social structures to the grand mechanisms of intercultural exchange. With such a vast scope of study, the social sciences make use of several methodological approaches and analyze both qualitative and quantitative data sets. As a result, students in these fields are well prepared for careers in the public, private, and nonprofit spheres and equipped to make an impact in almost any professional arena.

Our Social Sciences DAE position is currently unfilled. Students who would like to discuss their interests in social science majors should reach out the Directors of Undergraduate Studies in their departments of interest. Students can also meet with our Global Civic Cross Disciplinary Advisor to discuss integrating academically related co-curricular opportunities with their social science majors.
