Social Science courses examine why people behave the way they do; why society is the way it is; who has power, wealth, and prestige; and how they got them. Many of the courses emphasize the themes of ethnicity, class, gender, and power through which students can better understand themselves, society, and the world in which they live. The department offers interdisciplinary courses as well as courses in anthropology, economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology and urban study.
