Group III - Social Sciences

(6 hours)

The social sciences are defined as those fields of knowledge and study that explore and examine the social dimension and, where appropriate, the physical environment of human life. In these studies, an attempt is made to understand the behavior of individuals, groups, and institutions and, where possible, to establish scientifically-valid propositions. To satisfy the Social Sciences requirement, students must select one course from each of the two subgroups.
