Mission
Statement
The sociology, geography,
and criminal justice programs offer students a behavioral education
which is based in the liberal arts and which is designed to encourage
and develop scientific inquiry and an understanding of human behavior,
culture, and society. Competencies within these programs assist
students in recognizing their total college experiences as cumulative,
coherent, and unified. The programs help students develop as individuals
and as responsible citizens in a democratic society. Students are
encouraged and prepared to pursue graduate work in the social sciences.
Aided by a location with superior resources, the program is an integral
part of the overall University curriculum and of several specific
degree offerings within and outside the Division of Business and
Social Sciences. The programs do not focus on specific career-related
training, but provides a solid basis for students to develop skills
applicable to a wide range of employment opportunities.
