Industrialization, urbanization, and rapid technological innovations have heightened the rate of social change, transformed the nature of human communities, and accelerated the number and kinds of adjustments individuals make to the world around them. Through study of social sciences, students gain an insight into these contemporary situations and problems. Government, business, and industrial employers are finding this insight increasingly vital.
Many students with a bachelor's degree in the social sciences find the background helpful for advanced study in fields such as law, journalism, business administration, medicine, teaching, public administration, international relations, counseling, urban planning, social work, law enforcement, the ministry, or human resources.
