CBC Social Sciences Student
“Majoring in Political Science and exploring the other social science classes offered
at CBC allowed me to develop the vast analytical and communication skills that I have
been able to use in my classes at the University of Washington. The study of social
science gave me critical insight on the diverse experiences of people throughout history
and how that has ultimately created the world we live in today. Understanding the
critical issues that relate to individuals and analyzing the foundation of those matters
has undoubtedly given me the motivation to apply my skills learned and solve problems
that are directly affecting the livelihoods of people across the world.”
