It features a variety of disciplines all related to human behavior, relationships, society, and culture, including Psychology, Sociology, History, Political Science, Philosophy, and Social Work.

Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science

The Bachelor of Arts in Behavioral Science (BABS) is designed to give students the necessary groundwork for entry-level employment in social services or social work, currently one of the fastest-growing fields in the Midwest. It also provides a solid foundation for students wishing to pursue graduate work in psychology, sociology, or social work. Students may choose from one of three options - psychology, sociology, or social work - with the psychology and social work options allowing students practicum hours of field work under the mentorship of a professor.

Bachelor of Liberal Studies

Working towards the Bachelor of Liberal Studies (BLS) degree will expose you to many fields. Choices include humanities, sciences, business and technology. In addition to the core courses, you are able to concentrate studies in areas that especially interest you. The BLS is versatile in other ways as well.
