Chemistry
The professors have definitely been helpful and encouraging students to pursue graduate schools or careers. If you want to go into a certain profession they will help you do that. They'll tell you what you need. They do everything they can to really help you through the process. They're not just a research mentor but a life mentor, basically. It's a really great bond that you're able to form with the people who've gone through it before. They've done Ph.D. programs. They've done research. It's really good they're there as a support system for you.

Exercise Science
In the exercise science department, I had the opportunity to be a member of a research team that studies the effects of concussion on the human body. I was able to study the neurological health data from approximately 1,000 participants! I had many hands-on experiences and felt comfortable asking for guidance from my professors at any time. The exercise science major paved the road to my dream of being accepted into a Doctor of Physical Therapy program by providing very comprehensive and competitive courses and experiences.

Music Production
Just being able to go to school in Southern California opened up numerous opportunities for me. I was able to get hired for a few internships in the music industry, which gave me a good grasp of the different sides of the business, allowing me to try new things and figure out what I want to do.
