Social and Behavioral Sciences

The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences (SBS), the largest college at FSU, is home to seven academic departments with ten academic programs. The 1,000 undergraduate majors and 100 graduate students share a common interest in the diverse ways that people interact in and experience our major social institutions, such as the business world, politics, religion, families, schools, and economies. Our students have many opportunities for engaged learning by participating in internships, study abroad programs, and community service initiatives. They learn how to use data through their coursework and by collaborating with faculty on research projects.

Students in SBS may find themselves working on an archaeological dig in New Mexico; serving as an intern at one of the MetroWest region's top non-profit, governmental, or business worksites; using GIS to map inequality in local communities; participating in Moot Court and National Model United Nations competitions; taking undergraduate FSU courses in Northern Ireland; collaborating with faculty to present research at a national or regional conference; or participating in an undergraduate class taught at a local correctional facility through FSU’s Inside-Out Program.
