Your degree means you'll make a positive difference in your community.
You want to understand human behavior—why some people join certain political parties, or why some become addicted to drugs or alcohol. Maybe you'll help children and families as a counselor or case worker or work in law enforcement profiling criminals. You could even choose a career as an attorney.
Why Tech?
You'll develop the knowledge and confidence to start something big, like Helen verDuin Palit, BS/Sociology, Psychology and Art 1978, Graduate Studies/Sociology 1979. Helen founded City Harvest, America Harvest, Angel Harvest and Aloha Harvest organizations that provide 700,000 meals each day to hungry men, women and children across the country and around the world.
"It wasn't just the courses, but the larger ambiance throughout Lubbock that encouraged me to venture down new paths.
