Social & Behavioral Sciences

Welcome to the Department of Social & Behavioral Sciences! Members of our department are committed to excellence in teaching and research and SBS is proud of the accomplishments of our faculty, students, and graduates. We are a research-oriented department where our priority is the discovery of new knowledge and understandings about human behavior, social issues and cultural processes, the application of that knowledge to the betterment of physical, mental, and social health, and the transmission of that knowledge to our students and the community. Students have the opportunity to participate in faculty-student collaborative research projects, explore cross-cultural and global perspectives in their courses, access the latest computer technology for projects and assignments, and apply what they have learned in a variety of community-based internship sites across the Phoenix metropolitan area.

On our pages, you will find information about our undergraduate B.A. and B.S. degrees in Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, and Social and Behavioral Sciences, as well as links to our College’s Masters degree programs. You’ll also find information on SBS faculty, their areas of research and scholarship activities. As you further explore our pages, you will find that SBS combines academic excellence with innovative programs and services, complementing the ASU commitment to fostering student success.
