Faculty of Social Sciences and Psychology

We seek to develop morally responsible practical scholars who combine clinical competence with social cultural awareness, not only to meet the needs of individual clients but also, in the spirit of community service, to advance the common good. 

The faculty of Human and Social Sciences seeks to develop morally responsible individuals who combine career competence with cultural awareness and intellectual curiosity.  The faculty is dedicated to the training, education, and professional development of general practitioner-scholars who will make ethical, professional, and creative contributions to their communities and the professional disciplines of human and social sciences.  The faculty strives toward leadership in emphasizing a practitioner-scholar focus with lifelong learners.  Teaching, scholarship, practice, and service are responsive to diverse perspectives, a blend of practical and reflective inquiry, and social needs.
