The Division of Education and Social Sciences consists of three departments: education and psychology; social science; and health, physical education and recreation. The main divisional goal is to provide a curriculum that will meet general education requirements and also meet requirements for majors in teacher education, social work, political science, history, geography, physical education, health, sociology, psychology, and criminology.

The Associate of Arts degrees are to transfer into baccalaureate programs. However, the Associate of Applied Science degree is designed for employment purposes, and it should not be assumed that the degree or the courses in the degree can be transferred to another institution. While some institutions do accept some courses in A. A. S. programs, the general rule is that courses in A .A. S. degrees are not accepted in transfer toward bachelor's degrees unless that degree has been articulated with that specific institution. Students to whom transfer is important should get assurances in writing in advance from the institution to which they wish to transfer. Refer to our University Catalog for additional information regarding departments within this division.
