The ISS opened in 2016 and enrolls approximately 200 students each year in a supportive environment to study subjects under the umbrella of Social Sciences: primarily Economics, Law, Business Management, Sociology, and Area Studies. Students develop the skills to investigate, analyze, and interpret materials, and communicate their findings to others. Because English is the lingua franca of these disciplines, throughout the four years of the program, students will study English intensively to develop the language resources they will need as social science students, and later as professionals in society and the workplace as global citizens.
