Why Major in Social Science?
At CMU, counselling studies combine courses in social science, psychology and conflict resolution to study ways that people live in relationship, while fostering skills that are necessary for building healthy relationships. Professors work with students to develop communication and interpersonal skills, which contributes to academic and professional success.
Opportunities beyond the classroom provide chances for students to gain counselling-related experience which can contribute to finding meaningful employment. Students will complete a practicum placement in a related field, which will strengthen skills, develop interests and provide opportunities to connect classroom learning to hands-on experience.
