MISSION STATEMENT

To educate students at the undergraduate level in the programs of Criminal Justice, History, Human Services (modified 8-28-19 to accommodate organization change), Political Science, Psychology, Pre-Law, and International Studies to prepare them for various careers and life in the 21st century. Our common focus is the study of people in terms of their individual or group lives, their history and culture, and the social structures in which they live. The department adheres to the researcher-practitioner model, providing an understanding of the theories, research, and skills required for life after college as “world citizens” possessing a knowledge base that will enable them to think critically, communicate effectively, understand the histories and cultures of various regions of the world, and become responsible citizens.
