Welcome to the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences!
Our students tell us that they felt at home the minute they set foot on campus. This is due, in part, because departmental faculty and staff take the time to get to know our students, which helps us guide them along their journey to discover who they鈥檙e meant to be. Students are advised by faculty in their program, thus, students get advice from people who teach the courses. Additionally, faculty members provide career advice, advice on internships, and research opportunities. Our department offers a Bachelor of Art degree in Criminal Justice, a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, a Bachelor of Art in Social Sciences degree comprising five tracks 鈥擥erontology, History, Political Science, and Sociology and Social Studies Education (Teaching), and offers service courses in Geography and Anthropology. We also offer minor degrees in Criminal Justice, Gerontology, History, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology. We are certain that you will find your time with us to be a rewarding experience with memories and relationships that will last you a lifetime. Do not hesitate to ask questions of me or any of our outstanding faculty and staff.
