People, Place, and Society

You’re curious about the ways people think, how societies are organized, and the diversity of the human experience. Your passion for politics, culture, history, and social change is rooted in caring about individuals and communities. Learn a range of approaches to studying humans and the social world. Following your passion could make you a great diplomat, counselor, activist, historian, psychologist, sociologist, anthropologist, or economist.
