The department's history faculty offer courses in American, European and non-Western history as well as specialty courses in the history of Science and Technology.   The department's economics faculty offer courses in Macro and Micro economics, Engineering Economics, Money and Banking, Labor Economics and Labor Relations, International Trade and International Finance. The department's politics faculty offers courses in State and Local Government, American Government and Comparative Political Systems. The department's course offerings are designed to complement SUNY Farmingdale's mission as a first choice College of Technology. All of the departmental course offerings satisfy the social science requirements for all degrees and programs of study.

The  Bachelor of Science program in Applied Economics  is a comprehensive course of study that prepares students for careers in business, financial institutions, national, state, and local government, public and private research organizations and nonprofit organizations.  Graduates of the Applied Economics program will have the skills and abilities to meet the diverse needs of regional, national, and international employers in both the private and public sectors, working in occupations such as entry-level economist, quantitative analyst, business analyst, financial analyst, regional planner, manager, and research analyst.  Students must complete 60 hours in the liberal arts (inclusive of the general education core). In their first two years of the program, students will complete their general education requirements including mathematics, the two introductory courses in economics, and begin to take courses in the economics core. The program culminates with a capstone course sequence of Economics Research and Reporting followed by Applied Economic Analysis/Senior Project.
