When I first started at Temple University, I was a Communications Major. But over time I realized it wasn't for me, and not what I expected, so I left school and went to work at the House of Mouse for awhile. When I went back to school last September, I had chosen Education for my major, though I'm unsure what I'll specialize in. I've always wanted to do either English or History, though there is always a need for Math and Science teachers. I'm thinking about being both an English and a Math teacher, simply because I love English and would enjoy teaching it, and because I'm good at Math, though I don't enjoy it, but it's practically guaranteed that I'll have a job as a Math teacher.

Well, I learned that you can't go wrong with majoring in Liberal Arts at a 2 year college!

No, wait...scratch that.

I am Rutgers University in NJ as a Food Science Major. What is Food Science you ask? Well, it is what it says...the science of food! I can become a nutritionist or work for the FDA or a food flavorist or any job for the food industry. Basically I will work with food to make it taste better, provide more benefits, and overall be safer. RIght now, I'm just a freshman taking all the prereq classes. Also, all this science (biology, chemistry...next year organic chemistry, biochemistry, genetics...then the actual food science stuff) is keeping me away from UD! :( I try to return from time to time, tho.

FOOD SCIENCE YAY!

I spent 7 years at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.

The first four were a Bachelor of Art with Honours in Political Science. The next 3 were spent completing a Bachelor of Law.

So I'm a super-qualified bum.

Well, we didn't have any majors or minors, as I took a predefined course, and all of the modules had to be taken (and passed) in order to qualify.

Anyhow, I did Software Engineering at UCLAP (University of Central Lancashire At Preston) and - passed!

So I'm now an honourable bachelor of Science.

2099net BSc (Hons) Esq. to you (I'm working on my knighthood)

My major is in Advertising. I started in one of the colleges of the University of Puerto Rico, then I moved to THIEL College in PA, then I ind of took a break by studying general courses in the University of Salamanca in Spain... and then got back here in Puerto Rico to finish in another college (University of the Sacred Heart; the best in Communication here).

Plus, I'm also now doing modeling.

Currently working towards a Specialist (kind of like a Major, but with more course requirements) in Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence @ the University of Toronto, finishing up year 3 right now. Minor in Economics.

One day, I hope to build an army of robot slaves to take over the world, then install myself as its ruler... Then, finally proper DVD/Blu-Ray/HVD releases will rain from the heavens... hahahahahaahahahaha...

err... Or just go on to graduate work, and settle into research and hopefully become a professor. We'll have to see how it goes.

I'm majoring in Graphic Design. I tried photography as a minor, but the developing chemicals make me nauseous. Then I tried drawing for a minor, but the two classes I needed to finish weren't offered last semester. So, I finally settled on painting as my minor. I actually enjoy painting, so it all worked out. I'll be finished with everything after one more art history class and an internship.

I'm a secondary education major, and will be student teaching next semester (and not scared one bit). :D My concentration is in social science, and though I have yet to check, I probably qualify for a minor in history. I'll probably stay in New York to teach after college or move to neighboring states.

Best part is I'll probably learn how to use the Electron Microscope they have on campus that can see 1,000,000X normal size it's gonna be sweet!!! But man you need a microscopic sample to be seeing things at that magnification. And because you use electrons instead of white light the picture comes out 3D

I'm currently majoring in Computer Animation and will take journalism as a minor. I don't really want to leave Florida, but I still want to work for Disney, so I'm thinking of maybe being a Walt Disney Imagineer since Disney shut down their Florida animation unit...I really want to become a filmmaker, but that's a very risky field which is why I'm focusing on computer animation. It's becoming increasingly common nowadays for animators to become filmmakers, and if I'm going to get into the film business at all, slowly working my way in via the animation field is the safest route. Journalism is my back-up plan because I love to write and wouldn't mind writing for a paper or magazine since that would enable me to stay down here. Right now I'm going to Miami Dade College part time to get my basic courses out of the way, then I'm going to the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale which offers everything I want to take.

I'm a History Major at Miami University. When i'll graduate, who knows, cause I didn't declare my major until last year.
