The faculty within the Division of Social Sciences seek to provide a challenging education in the social sciences that critically analyzes the past and the present social history and structures of human interaction. Instruction is vibrant and relevant to the time and world in which we live and encourages responsible citizenship for today and tomorrow. Through classroom learning and applied settings such as supervised internships, students in the social sciences acquire an understanding of society while developing the analytical tools with which to provide solutions to a diverse range of social problems.
The Division of Social Sciences fully supports interdisciplinary programs. The programs in Global Studies, Legal Studies, and Women's and Gender Studies are housed within the division. In addition, Social Sciences faculty also participate actively in other interdisciplinary programs including Chinese Studies, Environmental Studies and the International Honors Program.
Also administered within the division, the Center for Economic
Education serves to broaden knowledge of economic principles among K-12
teachers and their students in the Pacific Northwest.
