Social Science-Option
Liberal Arts, Associate in Arts
Designed to help students explore the various disciplines before selecting a specific career area, this option can lead to a baccalaureate degree in psychology, sociology, social work, economics, law or other fields related to the study of social institutions. Although jobs in the social sciences are available for those with a bachelor's degree, many positions require a master's degree. An Associates in Arts degree in social science can lead to work in law, social work, education, business, government, psychology or almost any non-technical field. This option can be earned part-time.
