You can explore a world of options

When I started at Duquesne, I knew I was interested in media but wasn’t completely sure which facet of it I wanted to study. During my freshman year, I made a point to take classes from a variety of programs and was quickly able to get a clearer insight into what exactly I wanted to do in the future. I ultimately chose Integrated Marketing Communication because I wanted to get a broad understanding of the field and learn both marketing and PR since they are so interconnected in the real world.

I started as undecided in the business school. After my first week of classes I looked at what other majors Duquesne offered because I knew I loved the University, but was second-guessing my choice in major. I waited it out to test the waters in all sectors of business, and found the most enjoyment in marketing and communications. Once I was a second semester sophomore, I did an internal transfer to the liberal arts school to study integrated marketing communications. I knew I made the right choice because I loved my classes and could actually visualize the path to my future endeavors.

I chose Duquesne for its high quality academics, great campus life, and the elite football program. I’m an undecided science major and I’m exploring different areas of study and learning more. I decided to go undecided because I wanted to make sure I enjoyed the program I was in. My advisors always have lots of helpful tips and suggestions. I'm pursuing something in the sciences because I am passionate about working out and health/nutrition, so I want to be something along the lines of a trainer or coach.
