Faculty of Social Sciences

The Faculty of Social Sciences works to better understand the social elements of our lives. Why do people listen to certain types of music? How does our government work? How do we pattern thought? How does geography impact the way we live?  Faculty focus on answering these questions and many more, looking at these topics through a Christian perspective.
