"For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope."
—Romans 15:4

 

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" (George Santayana, philosopher). An understanding of our past and an ability to analyze current events is necessary for identifying trends and learning from mistakes. Therefore, a social sciences and history degree is a vibrant training ground for critical thinking and analysis of our national and global history.

A systematic study of human behavior, society, and government, and the ability to evaluate writings and ideas provides a foundation for anyone interested in teaching*, becoming a librarian* or historian, or acquiring additional education. This versatile degree equips students for a variety of careers and ministries.

*Additional training and certification is necessary to obtain a teaching certificate or librarian credentials. An accredited degree is often a prerequisite.
