identify, explain, and analyze the influences and contributions of the specific discipline to other disciplines, cultures, human history, and our quest to understand the universe;
organize, integrate, and critically analyze information within the course, using these skills to generate and evaluate alternative perspectives; and
prepare students to live enriched lives in our multicultural society.
GE Area SLOs

After successfully completing courses in this category, students will: understand the theories and be able to employ and evaluate the
methods of social science inquiry; be able to analyze and critically assess ideas about the individual,
social groups, institutions and society, as well as their interrelationships, structure and function;
be able to use this knowledge to develop a capacity for self-understanding and to understand contemporary issues, conflicts, problems and their origins.
