The College of Education and Social Sciences is
composed of the Department of Behavioral Sciences; Division of Education;
Department of History and Political Science; and the Department of Sports
and Exercise Sciences.
The College has a dedicated faculty, a large majority
with doctorates from prominent universities throughout the country, and
more than 1,200 students in 45 major fields of study. Departments within
the College of Education and Social Sciences offer master's degree programs
in education, sports and exercise sciences, history, political science,
professional counseling and psychology. Graduate programs are designed
to provide students with in-depth knowledge of a particular academic discipline
and research skills appropriate to the discipline. Students planning to
pursue a doctorate should write a thesis; others may find a 36-hour, non-thesis
program more appropriate to their career plans. Many of the graduate faculty
are engaged in various research projects, and graduate students have an
opportunity to share in these endeavors. Laboratory and library facilities
provide excellent opportunities for student research. Graduate programs
may be designed to meet individual needs within broad degree requirements.
