Programs in the Northern Vermont University-Johnson Department of Behavioral Sciences explore the ways humans behave, both as individuals and as groups, and the impact of this behavior on society.  Each major provides a different lens through which to view these topics.  Anthropology examines cultural differences and similarities; sociology examines the relationships and interactions between humans and social structures; psychology is the scientific study of human and animal behavior and the mind.

The NVU-Johnson Wellness & Alternative Medicine major combines aspects of all three of these disciplines with the study of biology, chemistry, anatomy and other sciences to deliver a practical education in a variety of healing and health practices used throughout the world.
