Cynthia Noyes, J.D., Chair

The Social Science Department offers programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts degree in the areas of criminal justice, history, psychology, social work and sociology and anthropology. Minor programs are available in criminal justice, gerontology, history, political science, psychology, sociology and anthropology, social work and women’s and gender studies. Olivet undergraduate students who are interested in a career in K-12 teaching may qualify for an innovative approach to enter into this career. See Teaching Pathway  for more information.

The Social Science Department also offers a combined bachelor of arts and master of arts in counseling degree program which allows exceptional, well-prepared undergraduate students at The University of Olivet to apply for early admission to the university’s MA in Counseling program. Students undertaking this combined degree program option complete graduate-level coursework as undergraduate students, thus enabling courses to be applied toward both degree programs. See Combined BA/MA in Counseling Program  for more information.
