Mission The mission of the Department of History, Government, & Social Science is to foster a community of learners, who, as lovers of truth study history, political science, and geography. In recognition of both the dignity and depravity of humankind, our aim is to develop insight into past and present civilizations based upon our acknowledgment of God ʼ s providence, the dependability of His promises, and His redemptive purpose on earth. Through the rigors of our disciplines, we prepare our students to influence and transform the world for Jesus Christ through their lives and vocations in obedience to the Greatest Commandment and the Great Commission. Learning Outcomes The department objectives are to increase the student's general knowledge and understanding of history, to encourage analytical thinking in dealing with historical problems, including the relationship of Christianity to culture, to enhance proficiency in research and writing, and to stimulate interest in the reading of literature bearing on the discipline. Offerings in geography are designed to develop understanding of and appreciation for the physical and cultural landscapes. Emphasis is on regional studies. Those interested in acquiring a background in physical geography are urged to take physical science and geography survey.
