The
Mission
of the
College
The mission of the col-lege
is to seek and impart
knowledge of human social
experience in all its diversity
in order to educate students
and train leaders to benefi t
humanity.
Understanding the world and our place in it
requires a well-rounded education. Accord-ingly,
the college seeks to instill a concern
for human values and civic responsibility
and to provide substantial knowledge drawn
from the social sciences. Such values and
knowledge can help a student respond
effectively to many challenges and oppor-tunities.
Indeed, applications of the social
sciences are needed today more than ever
throughout the world.
As students advance in their knowledge of
societies and cultures, including their own,
they learn communication skills and gain
valuable understanding of people from
different backgrounds. Global awareness,
together with an appreciation of relation-ships
between society and nature, is a
fundamental aspect of learning in the social
sciences. The college teaches students to
think clearly, critically, and analytically; this
allows students to engage in the solution
of complex social problems. Our gradu-ates
know the worth of practical as well as
professional skills. They realize that careers
can be pursued successfully only with the
benefi t of humanistic values and social/
cultural insights. The college also fosters
respect for human diversity and a sense of
responsibility for the enlightened steward-ship
of the ecosystems of which we are a
part. Thus we endeavor to prepare students
to adapt both wisely and resourcefully to
the ever-changing world.
The College of Social Sciences offers an array
of undergraduate and graduate programs
from historical inquiry to projections for
our future.
As a leader in liberal arts education, the
College of Social Sciences provides excel-lent
preparation for a wide range of careers
in academia, government, business, and
many other venues in the public and pri-vate
sectors.
The College of Social Sciences includes
the departments of Anthropology,
Chicano and Latin American Studies,
Criminology, Economics, Geography,
History, Political Science, and So-ciology.
Africana Studies, American
Indian Studies, American Humanics,
Asian American Studies, International
Relations, Peace and Confl ict Studies,
Public Administration, and Women’s
Studies are programs of the college.
