"I chose Interdisciplinary Studies as my major because I've never felt like I fit into the neat little boxes the world places us in. Interdisciplinary Studies helped me make my own plan for a major and my own path in life without having to force myself to be something I'm not." 

 

 

"I chose Interdisciplinary Studies as a major because it allowed me the freedom to explore all areas of study that I was interested in, instead of just picking one."

 

"I chose Liberal Studies to open a range of career opportunities."

 

 

 

"I chose exploratory studies because I felt it would be a great way to finish up some of my general courses and see what classes I found most interesting that could help me choose a future major."

"Coming in my freshmen year, I was struggling because I didn’t know what major or path I wanted to choose yet. Being able to choose Interdisciplinary studies allowed me to be flexible and it took a weight off my shoulders so that I could explore the other possibilities without feeling overwhelmed."

 

"A disability is an Ability! I am just like everybody else! You can do anything! Set your mind toward your goals and achieve!” 

"I would say my skills have to be a good listener, a good person, a good friend. My communication skills will be talking to people who can’t stand up for themselves."
