A Social Science Major at Providence consists of concentrating in any two of anthropology, psychology, and sociology. You’ll learn about the psychological factors that shape individuals from the inside, the sociological factors that shape people from the outside, and the cultural factors that shape entire societies. You’ll learn about scientific theories and research methods used to study people, all framed and critiqued by a Christian worldview. Upon graduation, you’ll have a grasp of how individuals, groups, and societies function and change, and you’ll therefore be better positioned to serve and help people, and thereby make a positive difference in the world.
A Social Science major is comprised of any two concentrations (each 15 credit hours) of the following: Anthropology, Psychology, or Sociology.
The prerequisite for entry into the Social Science major, the Social Science Advanced major, or the Social Science Internship major is a grade of "C" or better in any 3 credit hour course in the two social science concentrations selected. For students who have taken additional courses toward the major, a minimum GPA of 2.00 is required on all courses, excluding failed courses.
For entry into the Social Science Honours major, students must have 45 credit hours of accumulated academic credit, with 18 credit hours in Arts and Sciences including 6 credit hours of introductory courses in the two social sciences selected as concentrations, and a 3.0 GPA or higher.
