For students seeking adaptable options to design a personalized curriculum in social sciences, the Master of Social Science program fosters the blending of insights across and beyond conventional academic fields. Course offerings mainly stem from social science domains such as anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology, while also allowing combinations with other areas like English, philosophy, education, health sciences, public affairs, fine arts, and architecture. Those enrolled in this program frequently cultivate cross-disciplinary viewpoints on topics such as public policy, gender and identity research, educational transformation, intercultural studies, or political systems. This Social Science degree prepares graduates for career growth in business, education, social services, and government, or lays groundwork for advanced academic pursuits. MSS candidates often customize their studies to align with professional ambitions and personal interests, while others pursue it purely for intellectual growth.
The Women's and Gender Studies Track (WGST) can be completed within either the Master of Humanities or Master of Social Science programs, both interdisciplinary graduate degrees offered by the University of Colorado Denver's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Rooted in feminist theory, queer theory, post-colonial and ethnic studies, along with diverse social science and cultural approaches, the WGST track concentrates on how sex and gender influence societies through cultural expressions, language systems, political structures, visual media, and historical contexts. Participants engage with coursework in social theory, feminist frameworks, and gender studies that challenge them to critically examine women's status and gender dynamics throughout history and modern society. The track requires completing 9 credit hours of core courses that count toward either the Humanities or Social Science degree requirements.
