California Baptist University
For more than 40 years, the mission of the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences has set us apart as an integral investment for student success compared with other programs. Understanding one's faith as foundational, building relationships between students and faculty as well as the community and fostering leadership are among the most important qualities we impart to our graduates.
The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences (CBSS) offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in the behavioral sciences. It is one of the oldest and largest schools within CBU. In addition to its rich historical foundations and current strength in student enrollment, the CBSS is well known for its variety of program offerings, research and scholarship, practicum and training sites and service to the community. The Center for the Study of Human Behavior, the only facility of this kind at CBU, serves as an integral student and faculty research and training center.
Through academic and community engagement, rigorous research agendas and excellence in teaching and learning, the CBSS seeks to bring hope and healing to our world. Alums of the CBSS are well educated and trained in the classroom and in practical settings; but, more importantly, they are equipped to serve with excellence, compassion and love in their respective settings. I invite you to learn more about the CBSS and find community here at CBU!
You are a change maker and want to bring hope, healing and restoration to those who are suffering, oppressed and burdened. The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is the premier college where you will receive the education, training, networking and mentorship to live your purpose and be the difference in your neighborhood and throughout the world. We are a diverse community united in a deep commitment to our Christian faith and excellence in our professional fields.
