One of the factors that make SUNY Cobleskill’s Social Studies program stand out are professors who have both strong research backgrounds and, in many cases, a long list of published writings in respected academic journals.

The program focuses on shaping well-informed and aware citizens by giving them a sound understanding of the social, civic, cultural and historical issues that permeate the world around them.

As a result, students emerge from the program with a host of highly marketable skills – including the abilities to problem-solve, manage complex projects, think critically and communicate clearly – that will serve them well in any number of careers, or qualify them to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
