The Mission of the College

At CSU, Chico, the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is committed to the scholarly pursuit, dissemination, and practical application of knowledge focused on human behavior in the social and physical environment.

As teachers and scholars, we express this commitment by striving for excellence in teaching and learning, research, and service.

Through our general education, undergraduate, and graduate programs, we prepare students to be knowledgeable in the methods and scope of the behavioral and social sciences, to be skilled in their respective disciplines, and to be prepared to undertake a lifelong path of learning and service to their community.
