What’s the Meaning of Social Science?

Here is the real definition of Social science.

Social science is any discipline or branch of science that deals majorly with human behavior in its social and cultural aspects. (Britannica)

Social Science can also be defined as a branch of science that deals with the institutions and functioning of human society, including the interpersonal relationships of individuals as members of society. (Merriam-webster)

Investopedia went further to define Social Science as a group of academic disciplines, which focus mainly on examining society and how people interact and develop as a culture.

Take note that Social science as a field of study is separate from the natural sciences because Natural sciences cover topics such as physics and chemistry. However, this is different from Social Science.

Academically, these Courses are also considered Social Sciences, courses like;

• Economics.
• Political Science.
• History.
• Law.
• Geography.

Available Job Opportunities.

The list of jobs which are available for graduates in Social and Management Science is huge.

Take note that the job opportunity available for those who graduate from faculty/college of social or management science solely depends on the particular course he or she studies.

However, the sure thing is that it is lucrative.

Final Conclusion

Please take note that the courses which are above are pulled from the official JAMB brochure. The social science courses and management courses were added together, to make this list.

The reason why I decided to add the Social Science courses and Management courses together here, is because some schools offer the same course as management science, while some other school offers the same course as social science.
