Department of Social and Cultural Sciences website

The Department of Social and Cultural Sciences is a multidisciplinary department, offering four social science majors: Anthropology (ANTH), Criminology and Law Studies (CRLS), Sociology (SOCI) and Social Welfare and Justice (SOWJ). A degree in any one or more of our majors equips students with a broad liberal arts perspective as well as specific skills and areas of knowledge about individual and societal behaviors, interactions and processes, values and social institutions and important socio-economic and socio-political issues of the day.

Because the social sciences are so integral to a quality education that prepares you for a fulfilling life, many of the courses we offer are approved for the University Core of Common Studies, which all students are required to take. Also, many of our courses are integral to several interdisciplinary majors and minors that Marquette University offers, such as Family Studies, Africana Studies, Peace Studies and Women and Gender Studies.

The department also offers an internship program for any senior in one of the four majors within the department. Moreover, the department offers students the opportunity to expand their educational horizons by pursuing two majors within the department.

Note:

• A maximum of two approved courses within the department may be counted toward the completion of both majors.
