School of Humanities and Social Sciences

The School of Humanities and Social Sciences students are creative, imaginative and practical. They embrace broad topics as well as applied skills. They explore culture, history, geography, law and government. Unique resources like crisis simulations and mock trials prepare them for post-graduation roles and responsibilities. Students in this program can significantly impact the lives of others.

Donor support is needed for:

  • Equipment and supply upgrades for Missouri Hope, our emergency and disaster simulation exercise
  • Subscriptions to polling software that can handle large amounts of data (e.g. Qualtrix) as well as about 10-15 iPads to allow for digital polling and surveying
  • Materials for the History Lab (Public History and Museum Studies) and the Digital Humanities Lab 
  • Looking to grow the Geography program and are looking into Lidar and drones for mapping programs as well as aiding with the mapping needs of EDM (search and rescue for example) and History programs
