Students invent their own university majors.
If you could invent your own major, what would it be and why?
Travis Candieas, second-year psychology and history double major
“An interdisciplinary major. It would be something revolving around education, but I feel that there can be more of an economic focus on it, and it wouldn’t be as political as international relations.”
Rodi Bulutoglu, second-year Spanish and communication double major
“I would love a more established film major. One that’s not so much philosophical, but can give you more connection with the real world. It would involve screenwriting classes and a business mind.”
Brooke Campos, second-year psychology major
“A binge-watching Netflix major. It’s always what I do when I’m trying to study. I would always just end up turning on Netflix, and it takes up a lot of my time.”
Allison Reggiardo, second-year cell biology major
“A pirate studies and culture major. We would take field trips to pirate ships, visit beaches and that kind of stuff. That would be the major I try to make, and I would definitely sign up for it.”
Maddie Moran, fourth-year animal science major
“I would invent a puppies major because I love puppies. It would have to do with training and playing with them.”
Cande Salacar, third-year psychology major
“Underwater basket weaving. It’s different and unique; I hear people say it all the time.”
Amrinder Jattana, second-year biological sciences major
“A working out major. I [make] my health a big part of my life — it would be devoting time to something I love.”
Salvador Lira, second-year biochemistry and molecular biology major
“I would probably invent a major about bowties. You’d learn all the history of bowties, how to tie a bowtie, how to wear a bowtie, where to buy a bowtie […] everything about a bowtie, because I love bowties.”
