The Social and Behavioral Science Department at Panola College provides student instruction in the following areas:

• Criminal Justice
• Geography
• Government
• History
• Psychology
• Sociology

Our faculty seek to provide students with a broad set of skills in critical thinking, social responsibility, communication, empirical and qualitative data, and personal responsibility. To accomplish these goals, faculty use an array of educational pedagogy, including service learning, field trips, and case studies. Many of the faculty sponsor student clubs as a means of promoting their fields of study and advancing campus life.

Courses are offered in multiple formats, including online, face-to-face, and hybrids. Courses are also offered year-round in a 4-week, 8-week and 16-week format. Many of the offered courses are necessary for the successful completion of the college core curriculum and are needed for the successful completion of a bachelor degree at a university.
