General Social Science is an interdisciplinary major that allows students to
take a concentration of courses in the social sciences (anthropology, economics,
geography, history, political science, psychology, sociology, and women’s
studies). The following curriculum is intended for those students preparing
to enter Portland State University’s Degree Completion Program and graduate
with a B.A. or a B.S. in Social Sciences. A social science degree provides a
solid foundation for students preparing for teaching, social work, counseling,
graduate study, or for those seeking to remain generalists while earning their
Bachelor’s degree. There are no specific courses required to enter the
social science major at PSU. However, students are strongly encouraged to complete
at least 20 credits of lower division social science and begin fulfilling the
modern language requirement for a Bachelor of Arts or complete science/math
courses for a Bachelor of Science1. Students may transfer up to 124 MHCC credits
toward their Bachelor’s degree requirements for this PSU major.
