Bachelor of Science - Applied Social Science

The Applied Social Science degree at UW-Stout is designed to provide graduates with both marketable jobs skills and the flexibility to adapt to the rapidly changing nature of U.S. society. The degree includes concentrations in Economic, History and Politics, Sociology and Anthropology, and Social Studies Education. The discipline-focused concentrations provide students with 1) social science theoretical perspectives, 2) a solid knowledge base in the social sciences and history, 3) the ability to apply critical thinking skills to creatively solve practical problems in the social, economic and political arenas, and 4) strong leadership and interpersonal skills in an increasingly diverse and changing workforce. These concentrations provide both social science theoretical perspectives and a solid foundation in social science knowledge, allowing students to apply critical and creative thinking skills to successfully problem solve in their future employment fields. Upon completion of their Applied Social Science degree, students will have skills in data collection, evaluation and analysis, presentation, and problem solving.
