Courses in the social sciences prepare students to engage within human society. Through courses such as economics, political science, anthropology, sociology, history, and psychology, students may gain a better understanding of how the world around them works.

Graduate diploma courses often take somewhere between one to two years to complete, and are usually offered to students already holding college degrees. Students might expect better job prospects in the relevant field after graduating from one of these programs.
