The School of Social Ecology is dedicated to interdisciplinary, solution-driven scholarship, teaching, and outreach in the public’s interest. It is a national leader in applying empirical research to address complex societal problems. Since 1970, the school has grown from a few dozen students to more than 2,900, with more than 25,000 graduates working in fields as diverse as healthcare, human services, planning, education, law and public policy.
The school is home to three highly-ranked departments: Criminology, Law and Society; Urban Planning and Public Policy; and Psychological Science. All are committed to research that illuminates human behavior in both social and institutional contexts, moves beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, and reaches a diverse and broad audience.
Field Study Program
For the last 50 years, Social Ecology students have had to complete 100 hours of field work in the community. This program has benefited our community in countless ways and provides a formative experience for our students.
To ensure the Field Study program continues to be effective for students and community partners, the School of Social Ecology is seeking financial support for participating students. Gifts will fund leadership development workshops, transportation to and from Field Study placement sites, professional wardrobes and scholarships.
Social Ecology Dean's Excellence Fund
