Social Sciences

A collage features a smiling man in a suit and glasses, a student reading outside, and a building, all separated by diagonal yellow and blue stripes with large yellow quotation marks in the corner.

“In the Division of Social Sciences, we seek to understand and solve the pressing issues that affect our lives, engaging with Los Angeles in order to change the world.”

Three yellow octagons are evenly spaced in a horizontal row on a light gray background.
