Social Studies Elective Courses

This course gives students opportunities to study individual and group psychology.  Students learn how the knowledge, methods, and theories of psychologists are applied to analyzing human behavior.  The course is organized to help students develop critical attitudes toward superficial generalizations about human behavior, to recognize the tentativeness of propositions about human behavior, and to achieve a better understanding of human behavior in general.
