WELCOME TO THE COLLEGE OF SOCIAL AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH!

We are focused on creating a social science way of thinking about critical challenges that all of us face in the social and natural world. Our award-winning faculty and students study a wide range of issues including climate and sustainability, social and economic inequality, immigration policies, cultural extinction, technology and society, international security, global trade, early learning and child development, health and well-being, and the roles of gender and ethnicity in society.

Throughout your time in CSBS, you will be challenged to think differently! As a result, you'll become a critical thinker, poised to become one of tomorrow's civically engaged leaders.
