META MAJOR: SOCIAL SCIENCE

ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE

The Associate of Arts (AA) in Social Science is a transfer degree designed for students interested in one or more of the Social Sciences. This multi-disciplinary program provides strong introduction to core Social Sciences and related areas. The highly flexible curriculum benefits from a wide range of courses in American Indian Studies, Anthropology, Economics, Criminal Justice, Geography, History, Homeland Security, Political Science, Psychology, Religion, and Sociology. Students may concentrate their focus in an individual area or choose courses from multiple areas of interest.

The Social Science AA degree at Central Wyoming College is closely aligned with the Social Science distributed major program at the University of Wyoming and is a good choice for students planning to continue study in one or more of the Social Sciences at UW or any other four-year institution. Programs in this major may be tailored to the specific goals of the student in consultation with a program advisor. It is possible to complete the Social Science AA degree program on campus, entirely online, or through a combination of classroom and distance courses.

Specific required courses are selected to complete the Social Science AA online degree. Students must work closely with their advisor to ensure registering for the selected online courses.
