About

The disciplines of history, political science, and international development focus on the human experience in the past and present. We investigate humankind's ideas, institutions, and activities. At Southern Adventist University, we do this with the understanding that humans, while flawed because of sin, are created in God's image and are, therefore, worthy of remembering and studying. This perspective recognizes both the potential and the limitation of human endeavor. We work to comprehend the past and present with hope for the future. We seek to equip our students with cultural and political understanding as well as practical skills so they can enter the global arena and work with compassion for a world in need.



Additional Information

Planning Your Major

Our majors have a large amount of flexibility within their course of study. All majors should work closely with their academic adviser to plan for maximizing their educational time through judicious choices of classes, second majors, and/or minors. Academic advisers are also a good source of wisdom in regard to thinking about employment after graduation and/or the pursuit of graduate school degrees.

Pre-med, Pre-dent, Pre-law Preparation

Our majors are outstanding preparation for professional schools, and many of our alumni go on to medical, dental, and law school. We work with students to make sure they have the courses needed for the MCAT, DA and LSAT.

Departmental Policies

  1. A maximum of three hours for the majors or minors may be earned through AP or CLEP.
  2. Nine hours are taken in residence.
  3. Each fall all seniors graduating that school year must take an oral departmental exam within the first three weeks of the semester. It is graded on an A, B, C, F basis. Honors is granted to students who achieve over a 95 on the rubric.
  4. All students must attend one professional conference before graduation.
  5. All majors must have language competency through the intermediate level. This will often entail four semesters of language training; however, students who come in with some language experience or coursework may be able to test into a higher level and take fewer classes. We highly recommend studying abroad for the intermediate level, either for a summer, a semester, or an entire year. American Sign Language does not fulfill the language requirements.
  6. For history majors, substitutions may be made for the US History and World Societies survey requirement.
