Why Study Social Transformation at ASU?
Redefine your Education for the 21st Century Job Market
At the School of Social Transformation, we go beyond traditional academic boundaries to create meaningful social change. Our innovative school has brought together five fields of study and focused them around social justice.
What does this mean for you? When you graduate, you’ll be ready to implement social innovations that change the world, no matter who you work for. Our graduates have gone on to work in:
- Law Firms
- Domestic Violence Shelters
- Advocacy Organizations
- The FBI and Intelligence Organizations
- State and National Government
- Social Work
- Refugee Resettlement Organizations
- Museums
- Universities

Our Areas of Study
No matter your major, you’ll study social justice with award-winning faculty from our five interdisciplinary fields. You will learn the historical, cultural and social forces that made our society what it is today and get the training you need to be a champion for equality and succeed in any career.
This report compares career outcomes and job satisfaction of humanities majors to other fields including social sciences, education, physical sciences and the arts. I think the data dispels the myth that many of our fields in SST do not prepare students for careers. Our transdiciplinarity is a plus.
