Social Science Transfer

Careers and opportunities in the social sciences include positions that use research and data to help understand and improve society. Massasoit’s Social Science Transfer program was developed primarily for students who, upon graduation, want to transfer to a four-year college or university and pursue a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences, anthropology, economics, religion, psychology, sociology or other related fields.
