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.
