She hopes to provide her students with confidence in their ability to succeed in college, no matter what subject area they choose to pursue. Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Anthropology Uncovering what makes humans human. Anthropology is the study of humans and nonhuman primates, both in biological and cultural contexts and studies. It delves deeply into the beginnings of humanity, and stretches to ideas about humanity’s future. The goal is always to discover what separates humans from other species, and what makes different human populations unique in the ways they respond to the challenges that they face. We hope to discover what makes us all human, in spite of some of the superficial differences we observe.

The social sciences – anthropology, criminology, economics, geography, political science, and sociology – help us understand ourselves and the world better. These courses can help you choose a major, and often count toward the general education credits you need to transfer to a bachelor’s degree. In these classes, you’ll learn to think critically about questions like, “How does scarcity influence economics?” and “How do geographers understand the relationship between people and places?” and even, “Where do we come from?” Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Columbus State’s production of ’Romeo and Juliet’ Reinterpreting The Bard to get at the heart of the story Theater courses at Columbus State introduce students to the history of Western theater and the fundamentals of acting and stage production.
