History, Geography and Political Science

The department of history, geography and political science introduces the student to the social sciences and to the methodology employed in the disciplines.  More specifically, the department examines:  1) through its history classes, the past record of human existence; 2) through its geography classes, the study of humankind's relationship to its physical environment and 3) through its political science classes, the study of political processes, institutions, and cultures.

History

History provides an objective lesson in how the past affects the present. The study of history involves an examination of the past record of human life, a sense of cause and effect, continuity and change, and events which have led to the present.
