Social Science is the study of man's endeavors on this earth since he appeared some few million years ago. The history courses examine in detail his development from prehistoric times to the complex, industrialized society in which he now lives. The many regions of the globe which he inhabits are the focal points for geographical study. Some courses deal exclusively with the system of govern- , ment, social problems, and economic structure of today's man in Amenca.
