The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Social Sciences focuses on the study of moral issues in history and human behavior, human rights, cultural issues, and the power, change and decision-making within a culture.
In difficult economic times, the social sciences are often more relevant and useful by providing tools and insights for a greater understanding of society's major problems. From a Christian viewpoint, students consider such social issues as the stigma of living with HIV, political institutions, effects of social networking, or the ethical issues of abortion.
