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.
