Career & Postgraduate Opportunities
The majority of graduates with social studies majors enter teaching or
closely allied fields. Many of these earn advanced degrees in social studies or
related educational areas such as school administration or special education.
In addition, the disciplinary concentration can provide a foundation for graduate
study in that discipline.
The degree can also serve as a basis for professional
study in law and public administration.
Those not entering the teaching field
often find employment opportunities in social service or government
agencies.
