IIT’s Department of Social Sciences offers three undergraduate
degrees: 1) a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Sociology,
2) a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Political Science, and
3) an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Social
Sciences. The department offers minors in political science
and sociology, and participates with other IIT departments
in offering interdisciplinary minors in legal studies and urban
affairs.
Also offered are two accelerated degree programs: a
B.S./J.D. program with IIT’s Chicago-Kent College of
Law that can be completed in six years and a B.S./M.P.A.
program with IIT Stuart School of Business that can be
completed in five years.
The department offers a variety of courses to broaden the
IIT student’s education and to fulfill the university’s general
education requirements. Note that only the courses
from sociology, anthropology, and political science disciplines
are administered through the Department of Social
Sciences. Other social sciences courses are offered through
the College of Psychology (psychology) and the Stuart
School of Business (economics).
