University News
ASU can prepare you for a career in the social
sciences
What is social science?
Briefly defined, it’s the study of human society and social relationships.
By studying the social sciences, you’re examining how individuals and societies function.
You’ll learn how people interact in neighborhoods and cities as well as nationally and
internationally. The skills and knowledge that you gain can help improve how people live and
you may find solutions to some of our greatest local and global challenges.
How do I find a social science career?
ASU offers a variety of degrees in the social sciences, including (but not limited to): American
Studies, communication, economics, geography, psychology, political science, social work,
sociology, women and gender studies, and more. Find your passion and pursue work in that
field.
Use ASU’s Degree Search to find academic programs that may interest you. Degree Search
allows you to compare degrees, learn about career opportunities and see a list of required
courses.
Study social sciences across all of ASU’s campuses
All four of ASU’s campuses in the Phoenix area offer majors in the social sciences (Downtown
Phoenix, Polytechnic, Tempe, and West campuses). You can also study in Lake Havasu City or
earn your degree 100 percent online through ASU Online. And if you’re interested in social
work, ASU offers a Bachelor’s in Social Work in Tucson.

Spotlight on Pima Alumni
Meet Andreas Munguia Riveras.
Andreas decided to attend college at age 18 during his senior year of
high school. When he applied to college, he had no idea what he wanted to
study. Although he had been interested in politics before then, it was the
2016 election that influenced his decision to pursue a degree in Political
Science. He attended Pima three academic years and earned an Associate of
Arts with an emphasis in Political Science. He chose to begin at Pima
because it seemed like a great way to understand more about his interests
and who he was becoming as he transitioned from high school to college. When he became
aware of his true passion, he realized it was time to expand his horizons through higher
education.
Andreas is currently in his first academic year at University of Rochester pursuing a major
in Political Science and a minor in International Relations. At the University of Rochester,
he is meeting people from all over the globe. The support services at the University have
given him tools necessary to continue the academic path leading to his chosen career. After
earning his Bachelor’s degree, he intends to pursue a Master’s degree in International
Relations.
Andreas’ advice to other students:
• Do not give up! Once you know your true passion, stay focused.
• You have the opportunity to transfer to any university you’d like. Do NOT doubt
yourself. Just apply. You will be surprised.
• Pima is a great institution which will provide you with the necessary foundation to
succeed ANYWHERE. Work hard.
Meet Ashley Zambos.
Ashley always knew she wanted to go to college. It was never a question for her because
her mother was attending college, earned a degree, and began working in higher education while
she was growing up. Attending college was something she knew she would do because of her
mother’s example. She began attending Pima fresh out of high school in fall
2016 and is scheduled to graduate May 2018 with an Associate of Liberal Arts
and an Honors certificate. Her degree will prepare her for a double major at the
University of Arizona in Economics and Anthropology. She is also pursuing a
minor in Sociology.
Ashley hadn’t chosen her Program of Study before attending Pima and was considering Nursing.
However, as she began to take classes in Social Sciences, she soon realized that this was her
calling. Although she has a natural love of Economics and Anthropology, she chose Sociology as
a minor because she was inspired by her instructor, Dr. Rosalia Solorzano. She also credits her
positive experiences at Pima to overall support from Pima staff and instructors Dr. Francisca
James Hernandez, Mr. Travis Klein, and Dr. Dianna Repp. She has a long educational journey
beyond earning her bachelor’s degree. She plans to earn a Master’s in Education and complete a
PhD in Economic Anthropology so that she can teach and contribute to this developing field
through research.
Ashley started at Pima before transferring to the University of Arizona due to financial
need. It made her life easier not worrying about tuition costs. Also, she is grateful that she
attended Pima first because it helped her develop skills needed to transfer to a large University.
She loves the University of Arizona’s supportive staff and student run organizations. As the
President of Pima Pride, the LGBTQ+ Club she founded, and Secretary of the Feminist Majority
Leadership Alliance, the UA’s LGBTQ Affairs and the Women’s Resource Center are two
crucial resources for her.
Ashley’s advice to transfer students: Get to know the university or college where you
want to transfer. Contact that school and learn what it has to offer in addition to education
opportunities. Involvement will lead to joy and success.
