The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Cedar College encourages students to examine society, human behaviour and the world around them critically. Through Cambridge International qualifications in History, Law, Psychology, Sociology, and Global Perspectives & Research, students develop the analytical, evaluative and communication skills needed to engage thoughtfully with complex social, political and cultural issues. Our experienced faculty create an environment of open inquiry and critical discussion, preparing students for further study and careers in law, the social sciences, politics, journalism and related fields.
