Social Science Electives

Social Science electives should meet the generally accepted definition that social sciences are the studies of society and of the relationship of the individual to society. Subjects in this area are anthropology, psychology, sociology, economics, political science, history, linguistics, social responsibility, and foreign languages other than a student's native language These courses are designed as SS electives or as HU/SS electives in the ``Course Descriptions'' section of the catalog.

Excluded as Social Science electives for ABET accredited engineering curricula are courses that emphasize learning-specific skills, such as management, finance, marketing, social research methods, applied clinical psychology, etc. Such courses are designated ``SS; not for engineers'' in the catalog.

Social Science elective credits may not be granted by equivalency exams.


A foreign language is considered the student's native language if it is the formal or commonly used language of the student's country or community, or if it was the language used as the medium of interaction in all or part of the student's pre-university education.
