Individuals who have an interest in human society can pursue an education in the social sciences at the graduate level. Students who enroll in a social sciences degree program learn about society and its systems, institutions and behaviors. This field includes a wide variety of literature and culture courses including ancient Western and Asian classics, and the study of various modern Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cultures. This multidisciplinary area of scientific study can serve as a valuable supplement to work in other departments and fields including anthropology, art, communication studies, economics, history, human geography, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology, urban studies, and women’s studies.
