Faculty Spotlight
Faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences regularly present their work abroad, develop international programs, and forge global partnerships.
Why Choose Nazareth for Social Science?
The interdisciplinary Social Science major integrates five academic disciplines: Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
While each program is different, all seek to foster an understanding and appreciation of the diversity among and within societies and cultures. Many students combine the social science major with the inclusive childhood/middle childhood education major and become teachers. Others go on to attend graduate school or pursue a variety of careers related to working with people.
