ASKYOURSELF: WHO CAN I BECOME?

Why the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts at UC Merced? At any given moment in the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts, a student could be analyzing a theory … researching neurons … rehearsing for a play … preparing for a career … Research in SSHA varies widely including everything from the dynamics of language processing to 20th and 21st century Latin American narratives and cultures to voter turnout and behavior. By participating in research, students gain practical experience to match the foundation of theoretical knowledge amassed during their college careers. The just-established Center for Human Adaptive Systems and Environments aims to study everything from neurons and neural networks to the interaction between humans/groups and their environments.
