I created an account on College Board in sixth grade. Since then, my list of colleges I want to attend continuously fluctuated from to 20 schools to 5. Right now, it is at seven schools: Boston University, University of Southern California, Northwestern University, Kenyon College, Syracuse University, Vanderbilt University and -- as an in-state something-horrible-happens-and-I-don’t-have-enough-money-to-get-out-of-state back up plan -- University of Arizona. However, when making a decision about schools, I must consider what each of these schools can offer me, both financially and in regards to major choice. In general, my interests lie in theatre and psychology. As of now, the plan is to double major in either of Bachelor of Fine Arts or …show more content…
However, out of state, colleges offer varied BFA Acting programs. I would consider Boston University and University of Southern California’s programs for a few reasons. I am looking for a college offering an outstanding theatre program that will also provide me with a solid academic education. Boston University appeals to me especially because they offer a dual degree program where a student works towards both a BFA at the School of Fine Arts and a BA in something else at the College of Arts and Sciences. I want to explore many academic areas and most colleges bar students from double majoring with a BFA; thus, Boston University’s program fits me well. USC and U of A do not require prerequisites for their BFA Acting programs, but Boston University all undergraduates in School of Theatre to complete the Freshman Performance Core in either performance or design before declaring a …show more content…
Abnormal psychology fascinates me, but little to no colleges offer a degree in that area. However, the study of mind and mental function also intrigues me, and many colleges offer degrees in cognitive science, a perspective of psychology dealing with mental processing and how humans perceive situations. Students learn about how the brain works and what impacts how human beings interpret situations. This degree program varies between colleges; some consider it a Bachelor of Science degree and some consider it a Bachelor of the Arts degree. In either case, calles call it Cognitive Science Bachelor Arts or Cognitive Science Bachelor of Science. Many students choose a cognitive science degree in preparation for a higher level degree. To become a psychologist, students would need to go on and get a Masters or a PHd; to become a psychiatrist, students would need to attend medical school and receive their MD. However, cognitive science degrees could also translate into working as a counselor or even turn into forensic studies, leading to a job working with police organizations, profiling
Life is full of choices. Everyday people are forced to make choices: waffles or pancakes? Jeans or leggings? Most of these choices are trivial, but the few that are important affect your life in the long run. Your major or college you choose is one of those choices.
With May 1 quickly approaching, I approach a serious crossroad. A major decision is looming. For the first time in my life I have complete autonomy over my next move, and many subsequent choices following. This decision is essential to the rest of my entire life. Of the options presented to me, each and every one have colossal ramifications tied with them. Employment opportunity and financial security, potential life long relationships, and several other consequences are on the line. This begs the question, what exactly am I looking for these next four years and beyond. I have two vastly different options that may be presented to me. On one hand, I can potentially attend University of Michigan, the school I’ve been bred to attend since day one. Also however, I can potentially
IATI Theater seeks NEA funds to support artist fees, production and direct touring costs for “TRIPLE PLAY SERVICES TO LATINO COMMUNITIES”. This program seeks to provide a bridge between artists and under-served communities in the Northeastern United States. The program combines 3 different services with the goal to engage our communities in the performing arts while providing artists a platform to fulfil their dreams and improve their skills.
As a senior in high school the time has come when people begin to ask big and sometimes overwhelming questions like, “Where are you going to college?” and “What will be your major?” These questions, of course, lead to college visits and decisions. The two colleges that seem to meet my criteria are The University of Findlay and Ohio Dominican University. Both colleges have positive aspects, such as having the major that I am interested in as well as being close to family. However, The University of Findlay seems to be a better fit than Ohio Dominican because it is closer to home and I am familiar with the campus and I grew up on this campus.
It will be hard to know which college is the best for what I am wanting to achieve. This relates to "The Odyssey" when Odysseus has to make the difficult decision between going through Scylla or Charybdis. Odysseus said, “Better to mourn six men than lose them all” and he chose to face Scylla instead of Charybdis. I will have to choose the right college like Odysseus had to choose which monster he wanted to face. He doesn’t know if it is the right decision.
The decision making process on what college to attend can be stressful. For some, the deciding factor can be where they get the better offer for sports, such as Butler Community College, or where is closer to home, like Wichita State University. When the time comes to have this tough, and extremely long, process come into play, look at the pros and cons of the college choices and how each one can benefit life after college. What institution can you get out of as much as you put in? Which college has the degree completion plan you are wanting to pursue? These questions weighs in all incoming college students minds who strive for that goal of success that is a college degree. Despite bearing some minor similarities, the differences
When deciding on colleges to apply to, one of my top criteria was that I want to be able to complete a double major, specifically in theater and biology. Ever since I was in fifth grade, I have loved the art of theater. I was always fascinated how live actors on a stage could transmit powerful messages about human experience through fictionalized settings. I became fixated with playing other characters, loving how I could dive into other types of people's psyche and create real, emotional responses through audiences. I cherished the idea of becoming an actor one day, but was swayed by the popular opinion that, in reality, acting is a very competitive and unstable career field. Entering my junior year of high school, I was rather uncertain about
A Bachelor’s degree prepares you for many things. We live in a very complicated and competitive world in which an education is essential. Education separates us from the many other intelligent human beings that are exactly like us. The difference between us and them is how we handle ourselves and the decisions we make about our morals, our future and how we make our dreams combine with our future and make it become our reality. Psychology has interested me ever since I was a child. I remember having my own opinions but always wondering how and why my peers thought differently, so what made us have all these different opinions? I soon discovered psychology was exactly that, trying to construct and understand what other people thought and why,
Many people like me and you go into psychology because we find dealing with people’s thought patterns interesting, however psychology also deals with a lot of the brain functions and diagnosing mental illnesses,
Psycology is the study of the mind and behavior. There are many careers in the psychology field. From working with children, social work and counselling. There is a wide field that you can work in going into psychology.
When it’s time to starting making solid decisions about enrolling in college, many people have questions about how to choose a college major. Selecting a
I am a Pakistan-born United States resident. I moved to the U.S. in search of a better future and freedom to be an actor. Since, the time of my arrival in the U.S. I have been working hard to learn the language, culture and to fin my placement in the society.
Ever since I was a kid I have always thought about what college I was eventually going to go to. I made the decision in high school that I wanted to be a special education teacher, so I thought about some schools that had that teaching program. My number one school I wanted to attend that had the best teaching program was East Carolina University. Having ECU as my number one choice lead me to apply there. Weeks after I applied I got a letter telling me some sad news that I was not accepted. Since I applied to ECU and did not get in, I was now thinking about applying to other schools like Methodist University or maybe a community college.
I am thoroughly undecided on what I want to major in. Just within the past few years, I've gone from wanting to be a historian, to a journalist, a photographer, and even an astrophysicist. I'm interested in, and fairly good at, a wide range of subjects, and it's hard for me to pick just one that I want to focus on. Attending a university with a strong liberal arts program and a wide variety of majors and minors, like New York University, will allow me the chance to explore a wide range of topics before I decide to specialize in just one.
In order to become a psychologist, there are certain classes that you have to enroll in. The required classes that you have to take into having the psychology major are statistics, experimental methods/research
