Program Summary
The information, knowledge, skills or attitudes needed for the survival of an individual are acquired through exposures to disciplines. These acquired knowledge or skills need to be transmitted and transferred from one generation to another, otherwise man faces extinction.
The department therefore exists to explore and transmit the best ways of acquiring and transferring these desired skills. The historical, religions and arts knowledge and pedagogical skills offered by the department inculcate in the graduates the spirit of self-reliance, positive image and balanced personality which are needed in the present day human endeavours.
