Social and World Studies and the Humanities

Social, World Studies, and the Humanities has program responsibilities for the curriculum areas of Social Studies, History, Geography, Civics, Law, and Economics. Along with this, the areas of Family Studies and the Humanities also fall under the SWSH sphere. SWSH courses foster critical thinkers, empathetic global citizens, and culturally aware leaders who understand the complexities of the human experience across time, place, and society.

Through the rigorous study of history, geography, philosophy, politics, culture, and social equity, our department equips students to critically analyze information, communicate effectively, and engage ethically with the world. We empower learners to challenge assumptions, appreciate diverse perspectives, and actively participate in creating a more just, inclusive, and sustainable global community.
