To join this department, following official acceptance at Lee University, you simply must have a 2.0 GPA with at least a "C" in the introductory course in the major.

The goal of the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences is to educate the total person for career, calling, and service. We believe that each person has particular strengths and gifts that should be used in service to others. We provide an academic atmosphere that encourages the students’ understanding of their own social context, increase their knowledge of individual behavior and facilitate their adjustment to a rapidly changing social world by preparing them to recognize and appreciate cultural diversity.
