Social Sciences

Welcome to Social Sciences. The value of a Social Science education is greater than ever. Indeed, Social Sciences provide the basis for all human understanding. They comprise the disciplines that define, shape and guide our societies. Currently, we offer degrees in the following disciplines: Law and Criminal Justice Studies; Sociology; History; Public Administration; Psychology; Law; Social Work; and Religious Studies. Through these disciplines, students are exposed to the scientific study of thought and behaviour and develop strong analytical and research skills.

Increasingly, Social Science graduates enter the workforce with degrees that are extremely marketable and valuable. For instance, recent graduates from social work and public administration have found employment in the public sector, in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Social Services. Likewise, our history graduates have been gainfully employed at the Antiquities, Monuments and Museums Corporation (AMMC) in large part through a recent Memorandum of Understanding between University of The Bahamas and AMMC.

Beyond the marketability of our programmes, Social Sciences continue to be on the cutting edge of research which informs national policy and aligns with the overarching mission of UB. Undoubtedly, our aspirational goals remain rooted in our effort to inculcate values and skills that will promote future leadership in domestic and international organizations.
