Requiring only 60 hours of course work, the associate degree in social science program is the perfect fit for you if you're wanting higher education credentials, but do not feel you need a complete baccalaureate degree. In addition to the skills-building courses in English, math, science and the liberal arts, you'll also chose six courses in a single subject concentration (history, economics, sociology, or psychology).
