Build a Better Society

Some of the most pressing challenges facing society—mental health, economic inequality, criminal justice, disability services, family instability—can't be solved by technology alone. They are solved by people who understand people. That's the driving purpose behind UW-Stout's human and social sciences degrees. 

Choose any one of seven degrees in psychology, applied social science, criminal justice, human development, rehabilitation services, health and wellness, or dietetics, and you'll build the research skills, analytical frameworks, and field experiences to create a measurable difference in people's lives by communicating solutions that matter.

While you might not think of psychology or the social sciences as polytechnic, they're two of Stout's most sought-after programs for good reason.

Offering six concentrations, including forensic psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, health psychology, and pre-clinical, psychology opens doors to an incredibly wide range of careers and graduate school pathways.

Applied Social Science amplifies that reach further, building critical thinking and research skills through the study of global and historical issues that prepare you for careers in finance, government, business, and beyond.

At Stout, applied learning in the human sciences means community partnerships, field placements, and faculty-mentored research. You'll get hands on with human behavior, so you can improve it.
