Social Sciences Department

Students interested in careers in criminal justice, psychology, social work, or other "helping professions" will find valuable preparation in the Department of Social Science. The department's courses develop an understanding of institutions, cultures, and behaviors while also providing fundamental concepts, theories, and analytical methods of the social and behavioral sciences. This empowers students to critically examine human behavior and society. The curriculum is designed for students planning to transfer to a senior institution. While the degree plans provide a foundation for transfer, students are responsible for confirming that all courses meet the specific requirements of their intended transfer institution.
