Department Mission 
 People, both collectively and individually, are the focus of the social sciences.  The dimensions of this focus are historical, political, geographic, economic, sociological, and psychological.  This includes the study of historical events, government functions, natural resources, business cycles, group behavior and individual personality to understand better the past, the present, and the potential of human society.  Ultimately, the social science department at Riverside Brookfield seeks to foster citizens who are knowledgeable concerning human affairs and who can apply this knowledge effectively to the critical task of self-government.
