Social Science
A major in Social Science offers a broad
based degree that can lead to a variety
of careers in government, business or
international relations.
The Social Science program at Sheridan
College is designed to provide the
student with core knowledge in such
areas as Anthropology, Sociology,
Political Science and Geography.
Students will explore such areas as
the scientific method ranging from
comprehending reality at the abstract
theoretical level, to concrete data collecting.
All classes at Sheridan College are relatively small, which allows the students considerable interaction
with the instructor and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Students have the option of pursuing an Associate of Science or Arts degree in Social Science. The
degree programs are designed to prepare students to transfer to a four-year institution or to enter the
workforce.
Sheridan College also offers a Psychology major at the Associate degree level. Psychology overlaps with
other sciences that investigate behavior and mental processes. Certain parts of the field share much with
the biological sciences.
Much like the Social Science degree, the Psychology degree is designed to act as a transfer degree for
students who wish to move on and pursue a Bachelor’s degree.
