These general courses endeavor to provide the student with comprehensive understandings and functional concepts of great social and political issues of the past and present—that they might lead to more effective and desirable living. Students who complete the 9 credit hours in these two courses will have met the social science group requirements while 12 credit hours will be required to complete the group requirements if other subjects in the division are selected for that purpose. These courses are designed primarily for the non-social science major. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 1. Social Science.
