Areas of Study


Social studies educates students for democracy. An interdisciplinary social science major, it draws from anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology and sociology.

The Bachelor of Science, Teacher Licensure major prepares students for a career at the secondary level and requires a passion for both the subject matter and for teaching. Geography and History form the "matrix" for social studies. Students should complete core courses in these areas first. To increase their employability, students are encouraged to take a second major. Students taking a field of emphasis in a single discipline may not take a minor in the same discipline. Students interested in Social Studies as a major or minor should meet as early as possible with the coordinator.

The Bachelor of Arts major prepares students for immediate employment in civil service careers and for study in professional fields such as law, theology and counseling.
