Human Understanding, Cross-Cultural Connection.

Is your passion in SBSEHS?

When we take time to understand our past and present — through social work, education, criminal justice, political science, anthropology, economics and psychology — we open doors to the future. SBSEHS programs examine how individuals and groups learn, develop, interact, make decisions and heal.

Think about your favorite film. Is it driven by complex characters? Do you notice patterns and clues in their actions?

Do you enjoy discussing the nuances of relationships or anticipating the outcomes of conflicts? What about giving directions to travelers or teaching coworkers new skills? If so, your empathy and aptitude for analysis will give you an edge in our programs.
