A broad liberal arts undergraduate education should expand 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. Each of the disciplines of anthropology, psychology, and sociology offer distinct, but complementary, approaches to the study of human physiology, cognition, and behavior from a scientific and rational perspective that includes experimentation, observation.

Nolan Mann

Nolan Mann, from Warrior, Alabama, is a psychology major with a counseling emphasis and a minor in social work. The youngest of four, Nolan says he found exactly what he was looking for in a college at Lee. “The amount of connections you can make here is insurmountable! Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and find your own family at Lee,” he shares. At Lee, Nolan stays busy both on stage and in the residence halls—he’s involved in Lee Theatre productions, the improv team Shenanigans, and serves as a Resident Assistant. After graduation, he plans to pursue a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and become a licensed therapist.
