The Department of Communication, Social, and Historical Studies exists to promote student learning and civic engagement by studying human societies and human interactions across a wide spectrum of places and subcultures, both in the past and present. This includes the study of human communication, both in practice and in theory, within a variety of circles, including interpersonal, social and religious contexts, as well as corporate, media, and government spaces.
Our various programs of study equip students to be thoughtful Christians and engaged members of local, national, and global communities and in the marketplace of ideas. We do this through providing engaging student-centered classroom experiences, practical application through internships, and community activity.
This is a club and varsity academic team that focuses on learning and practicing the art and skill of mediation. Students study the arts of peacemaking and negotiation and participate in regional and national mediation conferences and tournaments. For information about our award winning Mediation Team email us.
