Our courses help students to understand the historical, cultural,
and technological evolution of our country and to value the democratic
ideals upon which it was founded. Students can also come to understand
how our nation has been influenced by world events as well as how
we have influenced world events. We also strive to develop critical
thinkers and effective communicators who will become informed citizens
participating in the democratic process. |
