Humanities and Social/Behavioral Sciences

Courses in the Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences are designed to assist students toward a better understanding of the languages and interrelationships of people and institutions and the complex world of cultures in which we live, a world that involves the dynamic patterns of social, political, economic and human factors. The problems we face can best be solved by examining them in a scientific manner within their proper historical context. The Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences strive to bring the tools of scientific methodology to the study of languages and people, past and present. Grossmont College offers most of the basic lower division courses in Anthropology, Cross-Cultural Studies, Economics, English, English as a Second Language (ESL), Foreign Languages, History, Humanities, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Social Science (inter-disciplinary), and Sociology. Some courses satisfy general education requirements at Grossmont and at four-year colleges and universities. In addition, the courses offered fulfill some or all lower division requirements for a variety of majors.
