History & Social Sciences

The history and social sciences curriculum is designed to help you appreciate and understand the global community in which you live, as well as the diversity of the American culture and heritage.

Not only will you learn about the challenges and complexity of recording and interpreting history, but you also will learn to examine assumptions, biases, and hypothesis in your sources. By studying the past, you’ll be preparing to lead in the future.
