We are classified as a social science here. We had made some push to
be reclassified as a natural science a few years back, but the state
of Georgia university system, if I am not mistaken, tries to keep
such classifications ("the core") consistent across its member
institutions, so we were rebuffed. Complicating the issue further is
that out department is in the College of Education. So our
undergraduate BS and BA degrees are awarded by the College of Arts
and Sciences, but we're administered (administrated?) by the College
of Education.

Just the sound of my little girl laughing
makes me happy just to be alive..."
