Social Sciences Department

"I have always been fascinated with people, their behavior and how people learn. That propelled my interest in the study of society and education. I love the social sciences and my students. I am also very proud of the teaching faculty in our department who are all so active and student centered. I feel that the social sciences has helped me understand the social world around me, and myself better."

-Dr. Marcel Morales, Department Chair and Professor of Sociology

It is used for students with a broad interest in the humanities. Students taking this curriculum should seek to acquire a broader education and be better equipped to consider the problems of the world in which they live. Opportunities for employment are in areas which do not require a highly specialized background such as one gets in a particular discipline.
