The Human Relations Department offers four nationally and regionally recognized undergraduate academic majors:  Behavioral Science, Child and Family Studies, Psychology, and Social Work, and a Master’s degree and graduate certificate in Human Behavior and Conflict Management.

The Human Relations Department at Columbia College offers studies in anthropology, geography, psychology, sociology, social work, and behavioral science. Students have exciting opportunities to pursue their interests in understanding the individual person, human relationships, and social institutions.

We are unique because of our focus on leadership. As Human Relations faculty we emphasize four dimensions of leadership in our courses and programs:

self-development (“you first”)
interpersonal relationships (“working together”)
professional knowledge, skills, values and ethics (“knowing your stuff”)
social responsibility (“doing the right thing”)

We believe mastering these dimensions prepares you to be a leader in your personal and professional lives. We offer opportunities to acquire and apply knowledge, values, and skills for successful and ethical leadership. Our commitment is that you graduate as an emerging leader who recognizes that effective leadership involves lifelong learning.
