MAY 14, 2025 — When Jason Gaytan first came to UTSA as a computer science major, he was drawn to the logic, structure and problem-solving at the heart of technology. But as he moved through his courses, a deeper concept began to take shape: not just how systems work but why people use them the way they do.
That curiosity led Gaytan to change his major to psychology and to enroll in the UTSA College for Health, Community and Policy (HCAP), where he found a passion for understanding human behavior. Now, with plans to pursue a master’s degree in sociology, Gaytan is combining analytical skills with a people-centered perspective to explore the complex ways individuals and societies are shaped by the world around them.
Almost immediately, Gaytan knew the change in major was right for him.
“He brings insightfulness to any topic that is discussed, and I look forward to seeing him grow in the sociology master’s program. I’m confident that Jason will have a bold future.”
