The Colin Powell School is committed to equipping every student with the information, inspiration, and resources to navigate the college-to-career transition and achieve a purposeful life.
Social Science degrees train students in important generalist skills that can be used in many fields. With no clear career ladder, students must take the time to explore, research, and define their own career path. Don't do it alone!
