The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences is addressing humanity’s deepest needs

SBS spans the sciences and humanities. Our students and faculty explore what it means to be human in the 21st century through topics including anthropology, sociology, compassion studies and American Indian studies. In all we do, we’re guided by our belief that collaboration among people with different perspectives, values and backgrounds enhances possibilities for learning and positive social impact.

Your support helps us recruit and retain internationally renowned faculty members. Not only do our students benefit, community members can as well through a wide variety of public lectures, panels and events throughout the year. Your gifts also ensure students in every SBS discipline graduate with hands-on experience.
