Behavioral Sciences B.S.
Match Your Course of Study to Fit Your Career Interest
Certain topics related to human behavior and social problems are too complex to be
                                 covered by one academic discipline. That's why the interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science
                                 in Behavioral Sciences at University of Houston-Clear Lake includes coursework in
                                 anthropology, psychology, sociology, criminology, social work and geography, which
                                 can be combined according to your academic goals and interests. Students obtaining
                                 a Behavioral Sciences degree through UHCL's College of Human Sciences and Humanities
                                 learn from faculty members that cross multiple disciplines and are leaders in their
                                 respective fields.
Please note that the coursework for this degree does not meet the requirements to
                                 sit for the Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA®) exam. For information,
