School of Social Sciences
Harold F. Bass, Dean
The school consists of the Departments of History, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology. It also offers courses in Geography. Each department pursues the study of human behavior in systematic fashion. Their curricula convey both the body of knowledge that characterizes each discipline and methods for adding to the quantity.
The school embraces and advances the liberal arts tradition. Our faculty aim is to empower students with life-long learning commitments and skills that will enable them to pursue and prosper in a wide variety of careers upon graduation. The faculty prepare aspiring students for post-graduate study to earn advanced degrees that many vocations rooted in the social sciences require. We encourage our students to become enlightened, engaged citizens of their communities, and we endeavor to instill in them an ethic service to God and humanity.
