I am excited that you are interested in Lander University’s College of Behavioral & Social Sciences. The quality of our programs is seen in successes of our alumni who excel in careers with businesses, government agencies, law firms, non-profit organizations, and schools; serve their communities as law enforcement officers; or defend our nation in the U.S. Army. Lander provides a close-knit community where faculty and staff cheer on students who are taught to think critically, be adaptable and professional, and understand career options. I encourage you to learn more about Lander and how we support student success.
Headquartered in the Carnell Learning Center, the College of Behavioral & Social Sciences offers state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories where students can delve into the issues of human behavior, interaction at individual and societal levels, and from the local level to the world stage.
