Social scientists explore human experience through the study of history, political science, sociology, anthropology and geography. Plymouth State University’s Social Science program allows students to investigate each of these disciplines while pursuing specific areas of interest.
Students who pursue the BS in Social Science will work with an academic advisor to create an inter-disciplinary program designed around the students specific interests and career goals. This research and writing-intensive program allows students to study each of the social sciences and prepare for a future career in business, academics, government or non-profit work.
Plymouth State University also offers a Social Studies Education program which is rooted in the Social Science department disciplines and prepares students to teach grades 5 through 12 through the study of a wide variety of subjects. This program is certified at both the state and national level by the New Hampshire Department of Education and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
