Dean’s message from the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences at NAU

Welcome to the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences (SBS). This website is a portal to the numerous opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as community members, to learn about and participate in innovative degree, certificate, and professional development programs. I invite you to explore this website to discover how SBS degree and certificate programs, research, services, and community outreach are making a difference.

The achievements of our faculty, staff, and students make SBS a leader in scientific inquiry into human history and communication, global engagement, stewardship of cultural resources, engagement with regional and Native American communities, promotion of justice, diversity, and community sustainability, and hands-on learning. I hope you will consider joining or supporting SBS researchers and students in pursuit of a better world.
