Department of History and Political Science

(GEO, HIS, POS)

The faculty in the Department of History and Political Science strive to provide a deeper understanding of the world in which we live by exploring the political, cultural, social, and economic past of the world’s civilizations. The instructors also seek to enrich students’ understanding and knowledge of humanity’s various spiritual heritages.

In addition, guidance is offered in historical research, writing skills, and critical thinking.

The political science faculty seek to provide credible introductory and upper-division courses and to create an environment that inspires discussion regarding the morality of public policies and outcomes of the legal system. All the course offerings emphasize the historical and philosophical foundations of American government. Legal courses stress the powers of common law courts to make law.
