The Social Sciences Academic Resource Center (SSARC) was created in 1992 to assist undergraduate students of the School of Social Sciences to obtain a competitive edge for their post-baccalaureate goals. Grounded in giving students opportunities, defining work ethic, and teaching professionalism, our Center has evolved into a one-stop location to address an entire range of student achievement and academic success, including graduate school admissions, career preparation, internship placement, scholarly promotion, and community.
The SSARC provides you with a great quiet space to study. Come by during our normal
business hours for a comfortable place to prepare for exams throughout the quarter.
