Show SCHOOL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES Lawrence C. Evans, Dean The School of Social Sciences provides several avenues to academic, professional, and vocational competence. Specific disciplines are organized under the following departments: Department of Psychology; Department of Sociology, Social Work, and Anthropology; Department of History: Department of Political Science and Philosophy; Department of Military Science; and Department of Police Science. Besides specific courses preparing students for a broad variety of occupational categories, general education classes furnish an extensive breadth of knowledge and a keen appreciation for moral, intellectual, and aesthetic values. The School functions in close harmony with other academic units across campus. Programs of the School are guided by the following objectives: 1. To provide ordered and meaningful inquiry into the Social Sciences as a critical element of education for life; 2. To offer at the undergraduate level appropriate specialized and professional instruction (majors and minors) in the disciplines administered within the School and to aid in the preparation of teachers; 3. To encourage research both by students and faculty, especially in those areas enabling students to become more effective members of society; 4. To enrich the intellectual and cultural climate of the college and the community it serves. Although stressing breadth of education, curricula of the School afford enough specialization and career education to prepare students for enrollment in professional schools and graduate programs or for participation in various occupational classifications immediately upon graduation. Students completing baccalaureate programs in the School will be granted either the bachelor of arts or the bachelor of science degree. Students may take departmental majors and minors in the following field: Departmental Majors Departmental Minors History Anthropology Police Science Asian Studies Political Science History Psychology Military Science Sociology Philosophy Police Science Political Science Psychology Sociology Students may take teaching majors and teaching minors in the following fields: Teaching Majors Teaching Minors History History Political Science Political Science Psychology Psychology Sociology Sociology Students may also take a Social Science Composite teaching major.
