Each course examines relationships among various cultures and institutions that shape our social, economic, psychological, and political realities. Using the lenses of the social sciences, students gain insight and understanding of the social, political, historical, economic, educational, or behavioral aspects of world cultures and systems, including the ways in which these interact and influence each other. Courses that fulfill the U.S. Constitution and California State and Local Government American Institutions requirements may double count in this area.
