The Triple Major Program in History, Political Science, and Sociology at Kristu Jayanti College offers a distinctive and dynamic blend of theoretical knowledge and practical insight. This interdisciplinary course equips students to critically explore the complexities of human behaviour, societal structures, and systems of governance.

In today’s interconnected and rapidly evolving world, understanding the intricate relationship between historical events, political systems, and social dynamics is crucial. The Triple Major serves as a foundation for this understanding, providing a holistic framework for analysing both historical developments and current societal trends. Through an integrative approach, students are encouraged to engage with the multifaceted forces that shape human life and collective experience.

History emphasises the value of context, continuity, and transformation. Students investigate various historical periods, significant figures, and influential movements, gaining the tools to assess contemporary realities and anticipate future challenges through a historical lens.

Political Science complements this perspective by examining governance structures, political ideologies, and institutional frameworks. The curriculum encourages critical reflection on themes such as democracy, authoritarianism, international relations, and policy-making, fostering an understanding of power and its societal implications.

Sociology deepens this analysis by exploring how social norms, cultural values, and institutions influence individual and group behaviour. From family systems to media influence, students gain insight into the dynamics that shape social life and relationships.
