Goal 5. History and the Social and Behavioral Sciences
Goal: To increase students’ knowledge of how historians and social and behavioral scientists discover, describe, and explain the behaviors and interactions among individuals, groups, institutions, events, and ideas. Such knowledge will better equip students to understand themselves and the roles they play in addressing the issues facing humanity.
LEP Objective: Develop understanding of human societies and behaviors, and of the concepts, theories, and methods of history and the social sciences. Students can meet this requirement through 2 approved courses or experiences in different rubrics or academic areas.
Students will be able to:
Employ the methods and data that historians and social and behavioral scientists use to investigate the human condition.
Examine social institutions and processes across a range of historical periods and cultures.
Use and critique alternative explanatory systems or theories.
