Social Studies

In order for students to participate effectively in a free society and to exercise positive political and social behaviors, they must be able to focus on the complex, social, economic, and political changes in our world. Social science courses provide students with an understanding of society and human values. Furthermore, these courses prepare students for citizenship and the representative processes in a democracy while providing the basics for understanding the complexity of the world community.
