SOCIAL SCIENCE

The major purpose of Social Science education is to prepare students to be humane, rational, understanding, informed, and participating citizens in a diverse society and an increasingly interdependent world–students who will continue to progress toward a just society.

Each student is entitled to receive a broad, balanced, well-planned, and well-integrated series of learning experiences in the social sciences throughout the educational program. Instruction in the social sciences must be compatible with the developmental characteristics of young people.
