Additional Majors and Minors

Social and Decision Science students bring a wide range of academic interests to their undergraduate experience, and the flexibility of the SDS curriculum allows them to meaningfully pursue those interests alongside their primary field of study.

SDS majors are intentionally designed to pair well with other disciplines, enabling students to combine rigorous training in decision-making, behavioral science, and data analysis with complementary fields such as business, computer science, history, policy, design, health, art, business and the social sciences. This interdisciplinary approach allows students to tailor their academic pathways while remaining on track for timely graduation and diverse post-graduate outcomes.

Of the graduating class of 2025, 87% of SDS graduates complete an additional major or minor, reflecting the department’s strong integration with programs across Dietrich College and the broader university.
