In the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, we study people and their connections with each other and the world.

Together, we advance interdisciplinary solutions to societal problems. Our faculty and students are working to understand and find answers to the major issues of our times, including political conflict, poverty, and climate change.

Our vision: A Just World, Together.

Students in the College of SBS cultivate skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication, intercultural competency, and technology – skills to last a lifetime. More than ever, society needs interdisciplinary and global thinkers who can address the world’s challenges.

As SBS students make their way beyond university life, they take with them a base of knowledge that we trust will lead to fulfillment, prosperity, and service.
