Social Sciences
Programs and courses in the Social Sciences are intended
to develop the student's understanding of the nature and operation of
human societies. At Lakeland, that understanding is built carefully from
early introductory survey courses to senior year seminars. The constant
purpose is always to understand both ourselves and our place in the larger
human story.
