Social Science Open House

The Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences hosted an open house for Caltech undergraduates on Friday, February 15, 2019, featuring Bing Professor of Neuroscience, Behavioral Biology, and Economics Antonio Rangel. The open house offered students an overview of the three social science options (majors) available at Caltech: business, economics, and management (BEM); economics; political science, as well as the learning opportunities in psychology/neuroscience. Professor Rangel explained the recommended course sequences and timing for "concentrators" and majors. He also talked about where undergraduate research opportunities may exist in the social sciences. Option representatives were available to answer questions.
