What's your major?

Postby spacefem » Mon Nov 12, 20:30 2007

For my undergrad, it was Electronics Engineering Technology. It's funny too because I was just going to aim for some vague technology/math/physics thing, and only took Intro to Electronics because the department gave me a scholarship to try it. but it worked out. Once I looked into switching to real engineering at another school, but transferring schools would have been a huge deal, at least 1.5 if not two more years of college. The advisor said I could basically have a masters in that same time. So I opted to stick with my tech degree and then go back to grad school. I used the extra time to get minors in math and technical writing.

so NOW I'm in school getting my master's in electrical engineering. I might graduate in May of 2008.

I have a BA in Spanish. I'm working on a second Bachelor's in History, then I'll get my Master's in Education. Hooray for diversity!

I don't give out my major, and I don't give out my phone number.

Sometimes my voice gives out... but never my major or phone number.

In undergrad, I double-majored in communication studies and mathematics/statistics. My M.Sc. was in mathematics, geometry and abstract algebra to be exact.

I'm starting college next year, so my major still has plenty of time to change, but I'm planning on going for Music Education so I can be a band director.

But like I said, plenty of time for it to change still.

I'm not in college yet (next year, whoo!), but currently the plan is Chemical Engineering. But that could certainly change.

Though I may drop the audiology part. Also, I'm hoping to do a master's in occupational therapy.

I have a BA in Computer Science. My minor was Philosophy. I maintain that the two are totally related.

I'd like to go back someday and get my Master's in Computer Graphics. That'd be pretty nifty.

Political Science Minoring in International Studies

I'm considered "Pre-law", but that doesn't really mean much...I might minor in economics because apparently Grad Schools like that for International Relations...

Our degree plans seem quite simliar. Want to cuddle?


Yes. Always.

I freakishly also wanted to study International Law at McGill because of my mad French skillz.

College is next year, but I'm thinking Bachelor of Fine Art with teaching certification, possibly Master of Fine Art, most likely in painting or illustration. Minor in Environmental Studies.

Hopefully I will not be a starving artist. ><
