Social Sciences Associate in Arts (SOCSC-AA)

This program is designed to provide the first two years of a baccalaureate degree in Social Sciences. Students pursuing an upper-level degree in the social sciences can also obtain an excellent interdisciplinary foundation through the SOCSC-AA program.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College History/Languages/Social Sciences Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
