The Social Sciences Department offers a major program in history.  In addition, the department offers minors in history, sociology, political science, a certificate program in gerontology, and a pre-law program with guaranteed outcomes for qualified students.  Courses in geography provide necessary knowledge and meet requirements in history and certification requirements for secondary social sciences teacher certification.

Department members are student-centered with a zeal for academic success. They serve as mentors and advisors to students as they advance. Graduates with a major in history will have a variety of career options. Many history graduates will opt for either graduate school or law school. Many will become teachers at the public school level or in higher education.
