General Studies - Social Sciences AA

Successfully completing WNCC’s General Studies Social Sciences program will prepare you for endless possibilities for your education or starting your career. With a General Studies degree, you will have the core foundation you need to communicate effectively with others, think strategically and critically, solve complex problems, and navigate a wide range of disciplines or fields of study.

This option provides a background in social sciences, preparing you to continue your education or enter a career that requires human interaction or research such as archeologist, political scientist, survey researcher, urban planner, anthropologist, geographer, economist, sociologist, historian, industrial-organizational psychologist, and so many others. The common theme in all of these is the study of an aspect of what makes us human. Once you’ve completed your bachelor’s degree or beyond in a specific field in the social sciences, you’ll be asked to research, analyze, and possibly make predictions or conclusions on your findings. These careers will keep you constantly learning and searching for new ways to look at who we are, where we’ve been, and where we’re going as a society.
