B´ÎÔª

I am Dean Stuart Sidle and I welcome you to the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. 

The faculty at the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences are dedicated to our undergraduate and graduate students because we know they will change the world!  We teach and learn from our students who are interested in Psychology, Counseling, Sociology, Social Work, Legal Studies, Political Science, Paralegal Studies, Criminal Justice and International Relations and Diplomacy.

A good internship brings academic coursework to life and provides work experiences and professional contacts that help ensure a successful professional career. The ultimate goal is to help you identify and secure an internship that not only meets your academic objectives but also enhances your professional career in the social and behavioral sciences.

By pursuing your degree at B´ÎÔª, you'll have the support you need to secure a fulfilling internship in your desired field. The people you have met here, courses you have taken, things you have done, and information you have collected throughout your time at Mercy will all prepare you with the tools you need to launch a satisfying career. 

B´ÎÔª is here to help our students and communities succeed. The new Interdisciplinary Health Education Learning Program (IHELP) fellowship aims to expand internship opportunities that provide services for children, adolescents, and transitional-aged youth who are at risk for behavioral health disorders in high need and high demand areas for graduate Fellows in Mercy's School Counseling, Mental Health Counseling, Marriage and Family Therapy, or Occupational Therapy programs.
