College
of Agriculture - Core Requirements
November 18, 2008
Social
Sciences and Humanities - (18)
credits
The
objectives of the social sciences component of the core curriculum
are for students to acquire a fundamental understanding of
economics, sociology, psychology, and political science. These
courses will provide students with the ability to examine
systematically and quantitatively how economic, social, cultural,
and political systems function and interact with one another
and understand how individuals and groups contribute to the
fabric of our diverse society.
The
humanities component of the core curriculum is intended to
encourage students to broaden their intellectual perspectives
beyond their selected fields of study. It is hoped that by
viewing their own lives in a broader context of human experience,
and by examining their own preconceptions and beliefs and
those of others, students will gain a greater appreciation
for the depth and breadth of human culture and their place
within it.
A
plan of study must include a minimum of 12 credits earned
outside of the College of Agriculture that can be applied
in the "social sciences and humanities" core curriculum
category. Plans of study must include at least three credits
of "other social sciences" or "humanities"
at the 300+ level.
