Show DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Dello G. Dayton, Chairman The social sciences are concerned with the whole range of human history and human activities, from the origin of man to current problems in the field of international relations. It is the aim of the Division of Social Sciences to throw light on living in society. The Division provides general education for all students and special and professional education for those choosing majors in the area of the social sciences. It also provides a rich selection of courses for the pre-law student. The Division includes the following departments: General Education, Anthropology and Philosophy, History and Political Science, Orientation, Psychology, and Sociology. It offers majors in History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. Minors are offered in these same fields and, in addition, in Anthropology and Philosophy. A Composite Teaching Major of 60 quarter hours is also offered. Department of General Education for the Social Sciences Professor Harold C. Bateman, Head; Associate Professor William D. Stratford; Instructor Charles Moore The pattern of the integrated subject matter contained in the two general courses of this department is in keeping with the trends of many American colleges. These general courses provide the student with comprehensive understanding and functional concepts of great social, political, and economic issues of the past and present that might lead to more effective and desirable living. Students who complete these two courses or 9 hours in a proper combination of other group-filling courses offered in the Division will satisfy the social science group requirements, although work beyond the 9 hours is recommended. The general integrated courses are designed primarily for students who are not social science majors. Courses of Instruction 1.
