Student Testimonial

Choosing to complete a major in RGLA has been one of the best decisions I have made during my time at UBC. The support provided throughout my degree and even after I graduated, has been exceptional; with the help of advisors I was able to select courses that interest me most, complimenting my other major in Psychology. The seminars are reflective and interesting, providing a wonderful opportunity to meet with other faculty members to exchange ideas.
I believe that the interdisciplinary nature of the program has equipped me with many skills necessary for a variety of professions such as teaching. Specifically, the ability to think critically and creatively, to find unifying themes amongst seemingly different phenomena, whilst being able to draw knowledge and answers from a variety of disciplines in order to effectively problem solve. For all of these things I feel incredibly grateful and I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone interested.
