Pacific Union College’s

Department of History and Social Science

The Department

of History and Social Science

Students in the Department of History and Social Studies explore the civilizations of North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. Using original and secondary written sources, films, and other documents, and through field trips and summer study programs outside of the United States, departmental faculty work with their students in the study of geography, history, and political science.

Scholarship is encouraged and recognized by membership in Phi Alpha Theta, the history honor society, and through debates, lectures, and student and faculty presentations sponsored by Pacific Union College’s Alpha Zeta Theta Chapter.

Students have access to the Utt Memorial Library in the department’s seminar room and the adjacent Honors Program Common Room. Faculty-Student suppers and discussion groups complete the collegial and friendly atmosphere, the hallmark of the department.
