General Social Sciences (BA/BS)
General social sciences is a multidisciplinary, undergraduate program that prepares students for success in an interconnected global environment. GSS majors learn how analyze social issues using research and critical thinking. They also develop innovative problem-solving skills, which are applicable towards professional fields like business, government, law, and education. The GSS curriculum provides flexibility in both class schedules and coursework. This allows students to tailor their educations according to their interests, and to balance multiple academic or personal pursuits in their lives.
Applied Economics, Business, and Society
This concentration combines technical training in business with the analytical training of the liberal arts. It draws heavily from courses in the business college and the economics department to offer specific business skills while exploring how business functions in society, on the national level, and in the global context. This concentration is designed specifically for students who plan to work in business or to pursue a master of business administration degree.
Crime, Law, and Society
This concentration provides broad exposure to problems that confront society on the causes and consequences of, and policies on, crime, offering preparation for students with an interest in criminology, law practice, law enforcement, or social services.
Globalization, Environment, and Policy
This concentration focuses on broad social-political and environmental issues at the regional, national, and global levels, as well as the policy planning required to meet these issues within an interdisciplinary context. The globalization concentration provides training for students planning to work in green industry, government, NGOs, and environmental organizations. In addition, the concentration prepares students to earn graduate degrees in planning, public management, policy studies, or other applied social sciences with a global emphasis.
Social Studies Teaching
This concentration prepares students with the course requirements for admission to the graduate teacher licensure program at the University of Oregon—UO Teach. This concentration does not, in and of itself, lead to a teaching license; rather, it provides a well-defined content so that students are prepared to enroll in a graduate program to become licensed to teach social studies at the middle or high school level.
General social science majors are encouraged to consult with their advisors at least once a year to ensure their remaining course work is structured to meet all the requirements for the major. Students should notify the General Social Science Program office of their intention to graduate at least one term before the proposed graduation date.
General Social Sciences is a multidisciplinary, undergraduate program that prepares students for success in an interconnected global environment. GSS majors learn how to analyze social issues. GSS majors take courses on specific social topics from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Students can also earn course credit for internships in their desired fields. The curriculum is divided into 4 distinct concentrations:
- Applied Economics, Business and Society (AEBS)
- Crime, Law, and Society (CLS)
- Globalization, Environment, and Policy (GEP)
- Social Science Teaching (SST)
Like many disciplines in the liberal arts, the General Social Sciences program (GSS) fosters the development of students as globally conscious equity-minded citizens and professionals.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Analyze and evaluate fundamental features of society, such as social conflict, inequalities, institutions, group relations, the experiences of individuals, and/or human interactions with the earth's natural environment.
- Synthesize, analyze, and assess the validity of qualitative, quantitative, and/or spatial data using social scientific methods.
- Construct an evidence-based argument.
- Describe how power, agency, and authority are constituted, disseminated, and exercised, including similarities and differences within and across groups, countries, and in the international arena.
- Appreciate and seek to understand myriad cultural, ethnic, gender, and socio-economic perspectives and experiences.
- Recognize and clearly articulate the career competencies they have developed as an undergraduate.
GSS majors take courses on specific social topics from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. Students can also earn course credit for internships in their desired fields. The curriculum is divided into 4 distinct concentrations:
