Behavioral Science

Our Mission: The CVTC Center for Behavioral Science and Civic Effectiveness delivers superior, progressive general education courses designed (1) to improve the lives of CVTC students through the development of useful personal behavioral skills and (2) to strengthen society at all levels by empowering CVTC students to become effective participants in social, political, and economic systems. By offering discipline-specific and cross-discipline courses in the areas of Economics, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology, the CVTC Center for Behavioral Science and Civic Effectiveness prepares students to develop self-awareness, to think critically, to behave ethically, to develop global and cultural awareness, and to engage in effective social interaction. As such, CVTC students are prepared to become productive members of the work force, civic-minded citizens of their communities, and life-long learners ready to grow within their personal lives and their chosen professions.
