The Social and Behavioral Sciences Department offers courses that encourage critical thinking about the behavioral patterns and social issues of our modern world. Our goal is to provide a quality educational enviornment that encourages students to become active in and lead relevant campus, district, and community activities.

Positive values and ethical decision-making processes are strongly promoted through our academically and culturally enriched environment. We have designed programs which encourage and challenge the student to excel in critical thought and theoretical applications to “real world” experiences.
