Division Statement/Gen Info
Members of our division are committed to excellence in teaching and
research and SBS is proud of the accomplishments of our faculty,
students, and graduates. We are a research-oriented division where our
priority is the discovery of new knowledge and understandings about
human behavior, social issues and cultural processes; the application
of that knowledge to the betterment of physical, mental, and social
health; and the transmission of that knowledge to our students and the
community of Arizona. Students have the opportunity to participate in
faculty-student collaborative research projects, explore
cross-cultural and global perspectives in their courses, access the
latest computer technology for projects and assignments, and apply
what they have learned in a variety of community-based internship
sites across the Phoenix metropolitan area.

(as determined by the university) of the pre-employment screening
