The Social Sciences Department wants to acquaint students with many of the causes and effects that affect social and cultural behavior. Anthropology and archeology considers behavior patterns as revealed by cross-cultural study of all peoples from all times. Criminal justice explores social control and misbehavior from two viewpoints, law enforcement and corrections. Social work prepares students to be general-practice social workers who can understand, analyze, and improve social conditions.
Sociology examines the interplay between human interactions and social institutions.
The university's Social Sciences Department offers the best of all possible educational worlds. The Social Sciences Department consists of four undergraduate disciplines and one graduate program. While all disciplines have the common goal of understanding human social behavior, they vary in their approach to that goal, with each one requiring a unique complement of courses.
