Why study social sciences at SLU?
Future teachers, public health advocates, social workers, politicians, lawyers and law enforcement have one value in common: the desire to make the world a better place on a daily basis. SLU's social science programs will give you the tools you need to give a voice to the voiceless; to tackle health outbreaks among vulnerable communities; and to keep individuals, particularly those at risk from their circumstances, on the right side of the law.
