Political Science, Sociolgy, Criminal Justice, and Social Work

The department of Political Science, Sociology, Criminal Justice, and Social Work is home to
three programs that immerse students in a wide range of social science inquiry and one
program that prepares students to address the social welfare needs of individuals, families,
and groups in our society. Students explore the conceptual frameworks and methods
essential to understanding the political, social, and legal phenomena that organize human
communities. The department is defined by an open and critical exchange of ideas as it helps
students develop the skills of critical thinking, articulate communication, and academic
research necessary for success in college and professional life.
