What do you like best about your major?
I like the fact that I have a lot of elective space and a pretty liberal curriculum load which allows me to pursue my interests in other fields of study. For example, I am minoring in Spanish, and I am a part of the International Plan which I coupled with my major. This allows me to take more than just major-specific courses and expand my knowledge into other areas.
