Liberal Arts: Behavioral Health

The Behavioral Health Studies degree prepares you as culturally aware professionals working with vulnerable populations. The program combines courses in social sciences — primarily psychology and sociology — with seminars and field work in the behavioral health services field. In addition to obtaining the necessary professional skills such as case management, report writing, assessment, interventions, and the fundamentals of behavioral health, you gain a broad background in the liberal arts.
