What's Your Major?

I asked 10 students this week what their majors were, and why they chose them. Take a look and see if your major is listed here!

Graphic design. I picked it because I wanted to do a job that would allow me to do visually creative work—I also want to work with brands and help them work on their marketing.
Karla Torres (junior, graphic design and Spanish)

I am majoring in exercise science, pre-pt. I chose it because I am interested in classes revolving around the human body—especially biomechanics—and also because I knew I wanted to become a physical therapist.
Trista Braithwait (sophomore, exercise science)

Speech path. I had family members who recommended it, and it seemed like the correct choice.
Siobhan Conyne (junior, speech pathology)

I’m majoring in mechanical engineering. I picked it because I like working with math, and also working with my hands. It’s a good combination of both.
Braeden Peterson (sophomore, mechanical engineering)

My major is biochemistry. I picked it because I want to go into the medical field, and biochemistry is a good preparatory major for that.
Kamillie Hernandes (sophomore, biochemistry)

English. I picked my major because I realized in high school that it’s very important to connect with people, and I felt that English gave me the skills necessary to connect with people all around the world. I also chose Spanish because it was a way for me to connect with people even more.
Terika Williams (senior, English and Spanish)

I’m majoring in electrical engineering. In the future, I want to work with electrical cars and stop reliance on fossil fuels.
Guilherme Martins Dos Reis (sophomore, electrical engineering)

It’s very versatile. You can get a job doing just about anything—research, teaching, as an actual lab technician, and it’s also a good applied major for medical school.
Beatriz Martins (junior, medical laboratory sciences)

I picked my major because I found that I enjoy working with computers and helping people with computers, and I think programming is fun. Also, it makes money.
T Bruggemann (senior, computer science)

I picked my major because I’ve always had a passion for physics.
Yoel Kim (junior, physics)
