Find your program
We’re providing [students] with the knowledge that our doors are always open, that their peers are available to them. We’re not going anywhere—just because you have your diploma, that’s not the end of your relationship with us.
Internships
Get hands-on, real-world experience and bolster your resume with a paid or for-credit internship. Recent internships include New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Disney College Program, Entertainment 2 Affect Change, New Hampshire Historical Society, and Putnam Investments.
Launch Future
Social Science graduates are well-prepared to take their next step, with recent job placements including the Department of Homeland Security, New Hampshire State Police, Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Department of Children and Families, Cambridge Police Department, Roxbury Youthworks Inc., and the New Hampshire Judicial Branch.
A Faculty Advisor in your corner
Strong academic advising can be critical to your success. So, our faculty, the people who know the curriculum best, advise you on which courses to take and when. Every student is assigned a faculty advisor in their declared major. Your advisor will become your best champion, the one who helps you find research opportunities or internships, teaches your favorite course, and writes your recommendations long after you’ve graduated.
