DEPARTMENTAL PHILOSOPHY

The Social Studies Curriculum is designed to achieve four major goals for students. By graduation, Hunter students should have a basic understanding and appreciation of the cultural tradition and history of different regions of the world. They should be familiar with the historical roots of contemporary issues and events. They should have an understanding of the foundations, philosophy, and traditions of a liberal democratic society. They should have a thorough knowledge of the history of the United States, enabling them to function as citizens of this nation and citizens of the world. In addition, the skills of critical thinking, reading, writing, discussion, and research are an integral part of all courses.
