Human Relations, B.A.

39 Credits  |   Main Campus

Better understand human behavior and the social world as you develop a scholarly perspective in the two major social science areas of psychology and sociology.

Learn to better understand human behavior and the social world, as you develop a scholarly perspective in the two major social science areas of psychology and sociology. This interdisciplinary approach fosters intellectual sophistication by demonstrating how these disciplines, both separately and combined, interpret the world and endeavor to answer a wide range of questions concerning human behavior and group life.

Trinity’s human relations major includes a focus on issues of gender, diversity, social justice, ethics, public policy and technology. You will gain experiential and service learning outside the classroom (with a special emphasis on social justice and advocacy) through an internship in your area of interest.
