Evans, Dean The School of Social Sciences provides several avenues to academic professional, and vocational competence. 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 *History Police Science *Political Science *Psychology *Sociology **Social Science Composite Departmental Minors Anthropology Asian Studies *History Latin American Studies Military Science Philosophy Police Science *Political Science *Psychology *Sociology Soc.

Col., USAF; Assistant Professors, Captain Daniel J. Jones, M.A., Captain K. Michael Rice, M.A. Objectives: The Department of Aerospace Studies offers a four-year and two-year program through the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps which provides qualified men and women students an opportunity to earn a commission as an officer in the United States Air Force in conjunction with completing baccalaureate or higher degree requirements. The purpose of the program is to give an understanding of the mission and the global responsibilities of the United States Air Force. Education: The Air Force recognizes that the officer must be able to think as well as to conform. To insure that these traits are given an opportunity to develop, a learning approach has been developed that stresses student responsibility and involvement. This student-centered approach to learning encourages inquiry, logical thinking, the use of imagination and the practice of sound judgment all important attributes of an Air Force officer. 211 |
