FACULTY FEEDBACK BY DISCIPLINE
At Regis, sociology is a mission-driven discipline. It pushes students to grapple with justice issues. But it also teaches students a lot of practical skills, the first and foremost of which, is critical thinking. Students learn how society operates and they gain a greater understanding of statistics, of how data is collected and information is disseminated. They also learn how to write well, a skill which is important in almost any career path they choose. DR. LISA GARZA ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF SOCIOLOGY
Too many students try to slog through subjects they don’t like because of pressure from themselves or family. I tell them that they can do absolutely anything with a history degree. Studying history gives you the ability to think critically and write clearly. You will learn to see bias in arguments, books and the news. Maybe even more importantly, learning history can empower you and inspire you to work for a more just and inclusive society. DR. NICKI GONZALES ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY
Because it produces broadly educated students who can think critically and write persuasively, the English major or minor at Regis is an excellent preparation for careers in law and politics, marketing and public relations, education, publishing and journalism, technical and free-lance writing, and the arts and culture industries. It is also, we hope, an end in itself, an imaginative and intellectual experience that will enlarge, enrich, and otherwise redefine your very self.
