Social Studies Department

The purpose of the Social Studies department programs is to provide students with a coordinated and systematic study of the social sciences and provide skills necessary to participate in the global and interdependent world in which we live. 

In a comprehensive study of anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, political science, and sociology, students will be asked to demonstrate the ability to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate historical and present issues and events.  The programs incorporate interdisciplinary materials and skills through the integration of the humanities, arts, sciences and technology.
