Do you ever wonder why the world is the way it is? Does human nature and the human past fascinate you? Do you want to get the "big picture" of the world? Our students explore the complex breadth and depth of human nature and experience through historical, political, social, and cultural understanding.  At all levels of our curriculum, we provide students with the tools to think rigorously, to research and thereby generate knowledge empirically, and to articulate their thoughts coherently.  Our goal is prepare our students for success inside and outside the classroom.
