History and Social Sciences
How have people lived and worked together through the ages and in the present day? The Division of History and Social Sciences includes areas that involve the study of human society and social relationships—anthropology, economics, history, political science, psychology, quantitative theory and methods, sociology, and women’s studies.
Understanding your place in the world
The social phenomena you will study in your courses impact people’s lives in significant ways. Understanding and seeking solutions for issues related to these external social influences can help improve the quality of our lives.
In the History and Social Sciences division, we’ll guide your investigation into the enduring values and concepts of Western civilization. We believe you develop as a responsible member of society only when you understand your roots. Then your convictions can result from critical thought rather than cultural influences only. Join us in gaining a better understanding of the world and your place in it.

Analyze the traces of environments people created in the past and explore those in which we live.
