Description

Social science studies society and social interaction. It is an umbrella area of study that traditionally includes many disciplines. A few of these are political science, sociology, economics, education, history, geography, international development, and international relations. As well, social work, gender studies, cultural studies, community development, environmental studies and social policy all fall under the umbrella of social science. Galen University's Master's in Social Science program is designed to allow the student to work with Galen faculty to define an area of concentration.
