Department of History & Political Science

The faculty members of the Department of History and Political Science are committed to providing students with a quality liberal arts education that will enable them to pursue a variety of career options.

A major in Social Science with an option in Political Science or History is not just for lawyers or politicians, although both history and political science are considered excellent disciplines for anyone aspiring to a career in politics or the law. An option in either will develop your communication skills and analytical tools for careers in such diverse fields as journalism, education, government, nongovernmental organizations, and business.

Students can also minor in either discipline as part of their BS-SS degree or as part of other bachelor degree programs (such as a B.S. in Human Resources Management or Communications.)

The department also coordinates advising for the Associate in Arts in Secondary Education which offers area students the first two-years of college and prepares them for smooth transfer to other Oklahoma universities to finish their bachelor degree in education.
