Program Description
The A.S. in Social & Behavioral Sciences is a “general transfer degree” designed to function as the default degree for all students in the “Social & Behavioral Sciences Area of Study” if a declared major program hasn’t been selected.
The degree serves students by providing structured guidance toward developing knowledge and skills in the social and behavioral sciences, including research skills. It prepares them to declare a major at SLCC or upon transfer to a university. The degree offers several emphases or “tracks” that students may choose from, which fulfill two or three foundational courses or some other requirement in a major program at a university, along with ample flexibility to fulfill general elective requirements.
Other benefits of this general transfer degree are:
- It may act as an exploratory degree for students who may be unsure about a specific program or programs,
- It can work as a way for students who have changed majors from another school to move into the Social & Behavioral Sciences “Area of Study” more readily.
The degree’s emphases/tracks mirror other full degree programs in the social and behavioral sciences to give students even more incentive towards declaring a major. A few of these emphases provide students direction in emerging programs that do not yet have a formal degree.
Students will be assessed according to how well they achieve the following learning outcomes:
- Demonstrate an understanding of science as a way of knowing about the social world.
- Apply disciplinary theories, concepts, and methods to increase understanding of human behavior, social interaction, and social institutions.
- Explain the diverse ways in which humans organize, structure, rationalize, and govern their societies and cultures over time.
- Demonstrate fundamental skills in research, such as rigorous and ethical scientific thinking, how issues are objectified for study, how data is collected and analyzed, and how new understandings of social phenomena are achieved, evaluated, and disseminated.
Disciplines that make up this Social and Behavioral Sciences degree include:
- Anthropology
- Economics
- Education
- Ethnic Studies
- Family and Human Studies
- Political Science
- Psychology
- Social Work
- Sociology
