Human Society and Social Relationships
So you want to change the world? MPC’s Social Science program lays the groundwork for making an impact. Gain knowledge of human history, society, and institutions and an understanding of diverse viewpoints and cultures.
The human experience in all its diversity is the focus of MPC’s Anthropology program.
Study human nature and tradition, our human heritage, trends in global society, and
the advances of a single political economy.
Economics is at the intersection of finance and policy, shaping everyday life in ways
large and small. Develop valuable analytical and statistical skills for understanding
the world.
The challenges of the 21st century demand an understanding of how ethnicity, injustice
and inequity affect the human experience. MPC’s Ethnic Studies program empowers students
to address issues and work effectively across diverse settings.
How does gender affect people’s lives and the social, political, and economic organization
of society? Investigate common assumptions and their political, cultural, institutional,
and economic impacts.
What does it mean to be a global citizen? As technology, media, trade, migration,
and international challenges bring the world’s people into closer connection, MPC’s
Global Studies program explores the processes and consequences of globalization.
How can you make a difference in your community? MPC's Human Services and Social Work program prepares you to support individuals, families,
and communities through meaningful careers that address social challenges, promote
well-being, and foster positive change.
Studying history illuminates how distant and recent events affect the present. Study
a range of topics, timeframes, and geographies and develop valuable research, analysis
and communications skills.
Philosophy is the study of “big questions,” from the fundamental nature of existence
to the meaning of love. Grapple with these topics and more while learning methods
of reasoning and building fluency in written and spoken communication.
Study government, political behavior, and public policy in MPC’s Political Science
program to gain an understanding of contemporary issues and become a more-informed
citizen.
Have you ever wondered why people do what they do? While there is no simple explanation,
MPC psychology classes explore factors that influence human behavior and interaction.
What is the relationship between individual behavior and society? How do social structures
of class, culture, gender, race, and sexuality affect life chances? Sociology seeks
to answer these and other questions using a powerful toolkit to critically analyze
and understand human action in social context.
