Through extracurriculars like Model UN, I gained public speaking experience, and the interdisciplinary nature of the global studies major allowed me to explore multiple areas of study that helped make me a well-rounded candidate for master’s programs and the job market.
I had to create a portfolio throughout the program that highlighted my work and defended my work to my professors at the end. It made me feel accomplished and like I chose the right path for my future.
Marketing and communication is in everything. With this major I’m able to follow my passions and go into any industry that I choose. My future plans are to work in advertising for live music.
The blend of communication and business courses centered around marketing communication and business administration allows you to strategically immerse yourself in each field. The leadership, management and technical skills I have also learned within both of my majors have prepared me for wherever I choose to go in the future.
I want to be able to tell my own stories and learn how to push them out into the world. This major is so much more than just learning what films are and how they are made. It has taught me to become more creative and think deeply about the stories I hear. Each film class I have taken so far is never the same structure, which makes my classes feel fresh and never dull.
My future plans are to go to graduate school for counseling. Learning from my family and cultural experiences have played a factor in why I want to pursue my degree in sociology and criminology and criminal justice. Criminology and criminal justice allows me to learn about different disciplines, theories, and why criminals partake in crime.
Multimedia was such an expansive and versatile major in the creative field. All the required courses for a multimedia major will train you in graphic design, motion graphics, storyboarding, web design, 2-D and 3-D animation, and video editing. Because art was in the same department as my multimedia major, a lot of the classes crossed over and it allowed me to incorporate traditional art into my digital art. I recommend an art minor to creative minds who are interested in taking on all the forms of media at once.
Working in the Office of Undergraduate Admission made me realize I really enjoy talking and connecting with families and prospective students. They helped me realize that my skills and interests are aligned with what admission counselors do, and my goal in the future is to help underserved youth get to college and stay in college.
I fell in love with creating music no one has ever heard. And if you are able to make something tailored to a person, they can make your music even better! I’ve been producing music since I was a senior in high school, and I loved tinkering with audio plugins and learning about computers. I highly encourage students with a music major and composition emphasis to double major in music production. Nowadays, a single composer often does the job of multiple people. In doing both of these majors, I found they often overlapped.
I decided to major in business administration because I knew that it would be the most beneficial for me and the career I want for my future. School of Management events have made me realize that business is the correct path for me to pursue. I plan on obtaining my master’s degree in business administration and eventually going to work in a career in financial planning or advising. I would say French is a good pairing with my business major because it is the third most spoken language in the world of business.
