Social Sciences Transfer Major

Program Description: The Social Sciences are ultimately concerned with human behavior in all of its complexity and with the various kinds of social relationships which influence individuals throughout their lives. Social Scientists are interested in discovering the ways in which people are affected by their associations with various human groups, both large and small, including the multiplicity of organizations and institutions that characterize modern society. Through the social sciences, the history of social institutions and the continuing process of social change are studied.

Iowa Central’s Social Science Department offers numerous courses from a wide range of social science fields including Psychology, Political Science, History, Sociology, Anthropology, Economics, Geography, Religion, Criminal Justice, Human Services, and Contemporary Issues. Students interested in pursuing a bachelor’s degree in general Social Sciences or in a specific social science field, can complete their first two years of coursework at Iowa Central and then transfer to a public or private college for the remaining two years.
