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.” Rosa Carballo Student 2016-18 Certificates & Degrees Events & Tours Request Info Fast Facts Social and Behavioral Sciences 21 Light-filled classrooms 41 Uniquely qualified faculty 100s Engaging Classes Student clubs Events & Deadlines Academic Deadlines See all deadlines!
