Social Sciences
UFSC Social Sciences program prepares sociologists, anthropologists and political scientists with the skills to develop academic research and produce knowledge about social relations. Graduates are also prepared to conduct surveys and consulting services for both public or private companies.
The program’s core courses are in the fields of Sociology, Anthropology, and Political Science. However, from the early stages, students have the option to specialize in a particular field by taking specific courses in that domain.
The program delves into different segments of society, including the political system, public policies, social institutions, the business sector, social movements, and socio-cultural diversity. Research is carried out in specialized facilities, such as the Image and Sound Research Laboratory, which also produces educational videos for teaching and learning in the social sciences.
The program offers two types of degrees: a teaching degree qualifying students to teach in primary and secondary schools (licenciatura) and a bachelor’s degree leading to research and other career possibilities (bacharelado). In the teaching degree, the student takes pedagogical courses throughout the program and completes a teaching internship in an educational institution. The non-teaching degree focuses on research, consulting, advisory roles, and public and private policy management. In the final semester, the student develops a final thesis.
