Introduction
The disciplines (programs of study) in the Department of Behavioral Sciences are dedicated to understanding the human mind and human behavior in the past and present at four levels: the individual, the cultural, the societal, and the species levels. For example, psychology focuses on understanding at the individual level; anthropology focuses on understanding at the cultural and species levels; sociology focuses on understanding at the societal level. Each discipline includes both theoretical and applied (practical) understanding of humans, of us, at whatever levels it studies.
