It is important for students engaged in these areas to understand and experience multiple scientific disciplines and their interrelationships.
At its core, the multidisciplinary field of Social Science is about people — their individual and collective behaviors and the societies they create. The disciplines in this field seek to deepen our understanding of how people behave in a wide variety of contexts and to assess the consequences of individual, group, and societal decisions.
