As well as a major in sociology, one in History-political science is available in this field. Its courses give thorough grounding in Americap and world history, Washington State government, municipal and state gov- ernment, and international relations. Contributions in fundamentals come, too, through the study of geography, where en- vironmental conditions are examined and the relationship between the geographic conditions and historical development traced.
