Ted Williams

Department Chair

The Social Sciences Department at Kennedy-King College concentrates on the study of social problems and the influence of modern scientific technology that affects the life of the worker.
The Social Science Department commits to help Kennedy- King
College fulfill its mission by serving students who need to meet the general
education core requirements in the Social Science Discipline for the AA, AAS,
and AS degree. These degrees prepare students to transfer to a four year
college, enter and compete in a global workforce/marketplace and live in
communities challenged by changing socioeconomic needs, cultural diversity and
technology. To ensure that Social Science Department is meeting its mission, it
commits to implement ongoing comprehensive assessment processes. The data from
these ongoing comprehensive assessment processes are used to revise/ enhance
instruction and learning. To this end, the Social Science Department adopts the
following purposes:                     

  • Provide courses that enable students to meet the general
    education core requirements.
  • Provide advanced classes in specific disciplines such as
    sociology, psychology, history, and political science that meet the Illinois
    Articulation Initiative Criteria.
  • Continue to offer US History and Political Science courses
    which students may use to meet the requirement for waiving the constitution
    test.
  • Continue to offer
    courses which are required by other programs, specifically in the applied
    sciences.
  • Increase articulation and course offering with other
    colleges and universities specifically in the area of criminal justice.
  • Involve students with global populations and global issues.
  • Enhance instructional delivery with online and offline
    technologies.
