Through these commitments, we hope to open your minds to new ideas and information, hone your critical analytic skills and provide you with the communication and research tools needed to understand and engage in the contemporary world. A degree in the Social Sciences provides you with the knowledge and tools needed for personal and career success, and to make a difference in our world. What makes Social Sciences at McMaster so great? Students are taught by some of the leading Social Science researchers in their fields.
