Make a difference.
Inspire change.
Committed to helping our students find their calling and purpose.
Through field experiences, service-learning, internships, study abroad and research, the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences provides important opportunities for students to take their lessons from the classroom and apply it to real-world solutions. Our programs are diverse, but have an important commonality in the human experience. From psychology to geography to interior design, each program goes beyond the standard curriculum to teach our students how to make impact in their fields.
