The term social sciences refers to those academic disciplines concerned with the scientific study of the social life of human groups and individuals. The social sciences include sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, history, and economics. Although many of the social sciences are influenced by the theory and methods of the natural sciences, the study of human beings presents unique challenges and requires a variety of different methodological strategies.

Rainy River Community College provides a number of social science courses that foster critical thinking about the human condition. The courses taught by Darryl Hall are listed on the course descriptions link, and the courses for this semester and upcoming semesters are listed on the right side of this page.
