The Social Science Division offers courses about people, their social and cultural heritage, and their behavior. These subjects are basic to success in any profession or vocation, and they contribute to the quality of our lives.

Most Social Science classes can be applied toward baccalaureate majors in American studies, anthropology, community service, economics, education, ethnic studies, general social science, geography, history, law, law enforcement, corrections, philosophy, political science, psychology, public administration, religious studies, and sociology. The department offers these professional/technical programs: Criminal Justice, Community Service, and Juvenile Corrections.

Note: Professional/technical courses cannot be used to meet social science general education requirements for Lane or baccalaureate degrees.
