Social Sciences Department

 

Mission Statement

The Social Sciences Department provides a broadly based, multicultural and multidisciplinary perspective on humanity, society, the environment and development.

In addition, the department offers general education courses that provide an understanding of the complexity and diversity of the world's peoples and their problems. Courses have an American and international orientation and address issues such as class, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, past and present diversity of world societies, political economy, physical environments, and environmental sustainability.

Beginning in 2010-2011 the department will no longer accept students for the BS program in Social Sciences. Instead, the department will offer separate degrees in Anthropology-Geography (BS) and Sociology (BA).
