The Division of the Social Sciences

Social Science Division chair and office staff.
Clockwise from back: Pareena Lawrence, Division Chair; Sharon Severance, Senior Administrative Specialist; Terri Hawkinson, Executive Administrative Specialist; Laura Burks, Office Support Assistant.
The social science disciplines...
...investigate the structure of society and the activities of its members. UMM students can major in most of these disciplines and each discipline has its own faculty coordinator.
The division also provides courses for the Interdisciplinary Studies program, a major in Liberal Arts for the Human Services, and a social science major for teacher licensure.

Social Science students participate in internships at local, state and federal levels. Many have worked closely with faculty to co-author papers and present research at national conferences. For more information visit our discipline links or drop by the division office at 109 Camden Hall.

The mission of the Division of Social Sciences is to foster a dynamic academic climate and to support faculty scholarship and student scholarship. The Division of Social Sciences supports the mission of the University of Minnesota, Morris by:
  • Providing essential aspects of a liberal arts education through understanding humans in their diversity as expressed in their histories, ideas, institutions, and behaviors.
  • Providing service in cooperation with other offices and programs to the campus and the greater community that contribute to the discovery and dissemination of knowledge to the Social Sciences and related fields.
  • Providing our students with core knowledge of their chosen majors, and competence in the methodologies, techniques, and skills required in their fields.
