Division of Social Science

The world is changing around us every day. With each cycle of the sun there are new problems that need to be solved, new opportunities for social change, and new people that need help. With each one of these challenges there is another significant challenge: who will be there to help? Who will solve the problems? Who will lead social change? Who will be there to help those that need it?

Our hope lies in you, the future leaders of the world. Are you ready to change it?  We'll help you do it!

The central location is perfect as a jumping off point for your career in the social sciences for a variety of reasons:

  • Nashua, NH has been named by Money Magazine “Best Place to Live in America” twice. The many community and social programs thriving and being built in our community provides tremendous opportunities to our students. Furthermore, there is a well-established relationship between DWC and the local community that provides many service learning opportunities.

Instructors at the college act as mentors to help guide you in your aspiration and assist you on the right path. You’ll feel like you are making a difference here, because you are.
     
  • New Hampshire remains one of the most politically charged states in America and is home of the first Primary election in the Presidential race every four years. This allows our students many opportunities for activism and service as part of their education.
