It encourages you to explore innovative and alternative solutions to human problems using social-science and critical-thinking skills. Student projects serve the community locally and globally. The major prepares you for effective and ethical social intervention and advocacy. You will have many enriching opportunities to interact with social and behavioral scientists, community leaders, activists, and the CSUMB community.
