History & Government

Government delves into the study of political systems, public policies, and political behavior. It is a social science which uses both humanistic perspectives and scientific skills to examine the United States and all countries and regions of the world.

History is both a science and an art, combining the careful analysis of evidence with compelling storytelling. History increases cultural literacy and sensitivity. You will learn to consider multiple points of view and changing global contexts. It also offers a unique education in the curation of content, teaching you how to collect, evaluate, and arrange a variety of sources into persuasive arguments and narratives.
