# Degree Programs

**Study people, and prepare to change lives.**

For students drawn to understanding the mind, society, and the forces that shape both, the social and behavioral sciences open doors across counseling, criminal justice, research, and public service. Manhattan University offers undergraduate majors and minors in Criminology, Psychology, and Sociology, graduate programs in marriage and family therapy, mental health counseling, and school counseling, and accelerated pathways that combine the two. Small classes, dedicated faculty, and field experience throughout New York City set our students apart. Review the programs below.
