Welcome to the Department of Social Sciences
We are dedicated to the development of well-rounded students through the promotion of abstract reasoning, analysis and scientific method. We focus on how underlying concepts, theories, principles and laws affect human behavior, social justice, societal systems and institutions.
Our social science courses expose students to the disciplines of Anthropology, Criminal Justice, Economics, Human Services, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. By gaining insight into the social sciences, a student can confidently assume the responsibilities of global citizenship and enhance personal growth in his or her chosen career.
