The first is to introduce students to the major ideas in the social sciences and to the similarities and differences in emphasis among the fields of anthropology, economics, history, psychology, political science, and sociology. The second goal is to develop students' abilities to think critically in the social sciences, to evaluate evidence, identify assumptions, and in general, to learn how we know what we know. Perspectives courses are most appropriate for degree students enrolled in any of the career programs. However, Liberal Arts or General Studies students are eligible.
