#  Why should I concentrate in Social Studies?  

 



 Social Studies is a great concentration for students who are interested in studying a social science topic from an interdisciplinary perspective. Students craft their own [focus fields](/focus-field), drawing courses from across the college and, frequently, from the graduate schools. We offer small tutorials, one-on-one advising, and a vibrant and supportive intellectual community. Social Studies students develop excellent analytical, research, and [writing skills](/writing-handbook), and they devote their senior year to writing a [thesis](/thesis), which serves both as a capstone to their undergraduate education and a chance to develop and complete a major independent project.
