Why Study Here?

"Attending Virginia Tech was the experience of a lifetime. During my time at Tech, I learned so much about myself, others, and how I can apply my skills and passions to do my part in making the world a better place."

Carrie Covey, Human Development

"When I first arrived at Virginia Tech, I was petrified of walking into a packed lecture hall.  My fears were quickly erased as my professor began to talk. She inspired me to think of ideas and ask questions that I never knew were possible."

Dana Mouritzen, International Studies

"Virginia Tech and the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences have provided me with a community of inspiring and passionate professors and peers with whom I could ask questions and explore my interests. My classes prepared me to take on real life challenges and have given me the skills and confidence to succeed after graduation."

Carly Rettie, Human Development

"When I started at Virginia Tech, I had no idea I would come to cherish my time as a Liberal Arts students as much as I have. The lessons I've learned and the bonds I've formed, both in and out of the classroom, will stay with me forever. Because of my time in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, i feel more capable and confident entering the rest of my life!"
