Why study Social Sciences Interdisciplinary BA - Health and Human Services Early Childhood Concentration at UB?

Health and Human Services (HHS) is one of six major areas in the Social Sciences Interdisciplinary major. It studies the systems delivering human services to individuals and communities in need, the problems affecting those individuals and communities, and the professions and professionals providing services. Within SSC/Health and Human Services students focus their upper level coursework in a specific concentration: early childhood studies (HHS/ECH), community mental health (HHS/CMH), or social gerontology (HHS/GER).

The HHS/Early Childhood Studies major explores topics of early child development, education and the mechanisms by which children learn; social institutions that impact child development such as family structures and gender; and methodologies.

Although this major does not lead to a teaching certification, the Social Sciences Interdisciplinary programs major in Health and Human Services/Early Childhood is one of the approved majors for acceptance to UB's Graduate School of Education for early childhood/childhood education.

Career Outlook

Students have reported obtaining employment with The Western New York Developmental Disabilities Services Office, People, Inc, the YMCA, Baker Victory Services, Teach for America, Mid-Island Jewish Community Center, Gateway Longview, and UB Childcare Center.
