Social Science

"Man, the molecule of society, is the subject of social science." 

-Henry Charles Carey, American economist and advisor to President Lincoln (1793-1879)

Why Social Science

The Social Science degree at Colorado Christian University is designed to develop your knowledge and skills in anthropology, global studies, history, psychology, and sociology. Upon finishing your degree as a Social Science major, you'll be prepared for law school, government service, graduate school, or teaching social studies in middle or secondary school.

Social Science in the Christian University

Do you want to better understand the foundation of American history? Are you interested in studying customs and practices of other cultures? As a Social Science major at CCU, you'll be challenged to not only be informed about what’s going on in the world, but to truly care about it be an active member in society. You'll be trained to think critically about cultural development. The different Social Science emphases allow you to tailor a program in your area of interest.

Social Science Emphases

Students who major in Social Science must select one of the following emphases: Global Studies, History, Political Science, or Psychology. In each of these functional areas, students learn the latest in theory and practice, with the added value of learning how to integrate faith, learning, and living.
