Cultural and Behavioral Sciences

The Department of Cultural and Behavioral Sciences is diverse department that offers pathways of study focused on the academic and applied investigations of how humans interact-behaviorally, geographically, instructionally, socially and culturally. We offer dynamic learning environments that cultivate communication skills, critical and creative thinking and scientific inquiry. Our students build an awareness of how  personal, societal and cultural development can be applied to living and working in a culturally diverse environment.

Our focus is on the student, and the broad-based approach to the study of the human condition enables our students to thrive in a global society and embrace diversity in both the academic and professional settings. We provide a number of challenging and rewarding pathways including; anthropology, criminal justice, education, geography, psychology, social work, and sociology.
