The Humanities/Social Sciences Division |
| Welcome... |
|
|
The
Humanities/Social Sciences Division includes the traditional areas of study in
the liberal arts such as art, anthropology, English, communications, drama, foreign
language, history, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology. The
freshman and sophomore level courses introduce the student to areas of study that develop
breadth of outlook and contribute to the student's balanced development. This training is
complementary to, but different in emphasis from, the specialized training one receives
for a job, a profession, or a major in a particular field of study. Students taking
courses in the Humanities/Social Sciences Division will move toward the following goals: --Developing an understanding and appreciation of the political, social, economic and cultural institutions in our society. --Developing critical and constructive thinking for problem solving and ordering of values. --Maintaining good mental and physical health for self, family and community; developing balanced personal and social adjustment, satisfactory home and family life and vocational adjustment. --Using basic mechanical, mathematical and communication skills to solve everyday problems, understand ideas of others and express ideas effectively. --Understanding one's cultural heritage and interaction with the biological, physical and social environment. --Understanding the creative activity of others and encouraging participation in creative activities. |
