For many undecided students, finding just the right major happens after they have already begun in another program. Kelsey knew she made the right choice once she switched into 魅影直播 State鈥檚 liberal arts and sciences: humanities program, and was able to expand and develop her writing abilities, while also learning a little bit more about herself.

鈥淚n every course, you get to discover different aspects of yourself that you didn鈥檛 know you had. Also, the professors are very helpful with critiquing and they always want you to progress no matter what.鈥

As a student who switched majors, Kelsey realizes the importance of finding a program that is just the right fit.

鈥淎 lot of people come into college and think about what they鈥檙e going to make the most money doing, and they鈥檙e not always happy with it, so I鈥檇 advise incoming students to get into something you really love.鈥

For Colin Miller, the fact that 魅影直播 State鈥檚 digital media and animation programs cover such a wide variety of areas - from 2-D to 3-D design, to video and sound production, and more - was a big draw for him.

鈥淢y major is what you make of it. It鈥檚 good to specialize in one thing, but it鈥檚 also good to spread your talents out into maybe three other areas, as well. That鈥檚 what I would suggest to any incoming students.鈥

In addition to helping him build a solid portfolio and providing a platform for him to showcase his talents, Colin also acknowledges that his program allowed him to find his 鈥渘iche,鈥 or rather what he would ultimately like to pursue a career in: video post-production.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 one of the things that鈥檚 great about this major. Since there鈥檚 a wide variety of things to do, you find what your best work is in. You find your niche. It helps you figure out what you really want to do.鈥
