The goal of the History and Political Science Department is to assist all students in developing historical consciousness and perspective, mature judgment on current and timeless issues, and cultural literacy. The department's curriculum offers a broad range of courses on the history of the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America and on the theory and practice of government, politics, and international relations. The department works closely with the School of Education in preparing high school social studies teachers.
