Vision    

The Social Sciences are a fundamental component of a well-rounded education. Through confrontation of diverse perspectives, meaningful and informed dialogue, and critical reflection, the School of Social Sciences seeks to provide students rigorous preparation for productive careers, graduate and professional education, and lifelong learning.                                                                   

Purpose                                

The Social Sciences investigate through various modes
of inquiry the interrelationships of individuals and groups
in human society. Each department in the School of Social
Sciences provides a unique applied and/or theoretical
emphasis in this examination of human interaction. The
School’s common purpose is to foster a deeper awareness
of human behavior, institutions, culture, and society and to
encourage personal growth through the development of
critical thinking, effective oral and written communication,
ethical reflection, and enlightened citizenship.
