Social Science

About

The principal areas of study in Department of Social Science are history (with a strong dose of political science), psychology and sociology, and social studies education. Though each is unique in its focus and in its emphasis, the social sciences have a common concern with human behavior. The social sciences share the belief that human behavior, culture, and society—the total human experience—can and should be studied using the methods of science. Faculty members in the department are caring and experienced professionals with the academic credentials and years of experience in their fields to make them well-rounded educators.
