Yes. My BA degree was a self-designed major in communications, with minors in history, sociology, and psychology. Many of the principles I had studied in sociology were highly relevant to my studies at Woodbury in Prevention and Community Development. In particular, the dynamics of group and community formation are a crucial element in formulating an effective prevention program.
