Social Science Open House

The Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences hosted an open house for Caltech undergraduates on Friday, February 9, 2018, from noon to 1 p.m. in Baxter Lecture Hall, featuring Bing Professor of Neuroscience, Behavioral Biology, and Economics Antonio Rangel. The open house offered students an overview of the four areas of concentration (options/majors) in social sciences at Caltech: Business, Economics, and Management; Economics; Political Science; and 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.
