The Division of Social Sciences at Maryville College includes the disciplines of Economics, Political Science, Sociology, Criminal Justice and Business. In addition, we offer interdisciplinary programs in the areas of Environmental Studies and International Studies. Our primary goal is to provide students with the tools they will need to understand our changing social world and to find their place

in that world. We provide students with opportunities to explore important questions related to contemporary political, environmental, economic, social and international issues. This involves interactive classroom instruction, class projects, service learning, internships, research and international study. Many of these have moral and ethical implications. Our faculty invite and expect students to grapple with complex subjects such as ethical business practices, environmental sustainability and economic justice. In doing so, we promote the College’s mission to serve the human community. Research & Outcomes

Meet Andre Darko '26, our first of many graduates from the Class of 2026 who have exciting plans that we will be featuring this summer! ☀️🎓

After majoring in political science at MC, Andre's next stop is in Germany at the University of Erfurt where he will pursue his master's in public policy with a specialization in digital politics and governance. He hopes to become a policy analyst or researcher.

“I think the two biggest things that this college provided me with are the political science courses that I’ve taken in public policy and international politics and the study abroad program. The courses helped me decide on this track. The study abroad program opened me up to different grad school opportunities outside the U.S.”

Congratulations, Andre! And good luck!
