Goals


Area D Social Science courses have students consider that human social, political, and economic institutions and behaviors are inextricably interwoven. Students work to

  • apply the discipline-specific vocabulary, principles, methodologies, value systems and ethics employed in social science inquiry, to a specific instance;
  • explain and critically analyze human social, economic, and political issues from the respective disciplinary perspectives by examining them in contemporary as well as historical settings and in a variety of cultural contexts; and
  • illustrate how human social, political, and economic institutions and behavior are inextricably interwoven.
