In the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, we study people and their interactions with each other and the world. 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.
The College of SBS’s Fuel Wonder goals align with our strategic plan, which focuses on transformation and impact. We provide students with hands-on experiences and transferable skills – such as communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills – necessary to thrive in fulfilling careers. We advance innovative, interdisciplinary solutions to entrenched social problems. We work with the community to build bridges between theory and practice. Our vision: A just world, together.
Join us in creating positive change in the world and providing students with skills to last a lifetime. Your support of the work we do will make a difference!
