Department Focus

Paramount among the goals of the social studies courses are:

  1. that students learn to become constructive members of a free society,
  2. that they understand that society and have the skill to take part in it,
  3. that they develop a global outlook,
  4. that they become proficient in special skills, such as outlining, notetaking, analysis, writing, and defending a position.

The sequence of courses is designed to build one on another, from freshman to senior year, in support of these goals.
