In rural communities across Texas, health service gaps exist in critical fields like counseling, educational psychology, and applied behavioral analysis. A new Behavioral Science degree from @UTSA @UTSACOEHD is designed to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in these areas. 1,500 students have already enrolled. But the courses are not just for Behavioral Science degree seekers. “In a world that’s very much hurting, we are building base skills for any profession, skills that help students understand human needs," says @UTSA professor Jennifer Cook who played a key role in developing the degree. utsa.edu/today/2025/08/story…
