Dr. Van Reidhead
Dean of the College of Social
and Behavioral Sciences
The faculty of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences has a long tradition of dedication to student success. Students working on degrees in the social and behavioral sciences learn about people in their cultural and natural settings as individuals and members of society, from their own family histories to the world community. Because human beings build the technologies that link every corner of the world, and people make them work for the good of humankind and the environment, the global knowledge economy is ripe with opportunities for graduates of the social and behavioral sciences.
Education is the centerpiece of the human enterprise. The global electronic age needs professionals with excellent human understanding and research skills. Our scholars, staff, and student assistants are committed to help every student we serve gain the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the global marketplace. Equally, we are committed to make the research and public outreach resources of our departments, centers, collaborations, archives, labs, and clinics available for the benefit of the people of South Texas and our neighbors in Mexico. I invite you to explore our website, where you will discover the many degree and minor study routes you can take to become expert in one or more of the social and behavioral sciences.
