“The day I decided that interior design was where I wanted to be was the first time I actually felt excited for college.”

"The Department of Petroleum Engineering provides students with certifications that are needed to begin immediately working in the industry, exposing students to a variety of software applications that are used industry-wide, hands-on laboratories, and regular tours to rigs and other oil and gas-related facilities. I'm leaving the program with the skills and knowledge I need to have a successful career in oil and gas.”

“I personally chose this program (engineering technology) because it is a unique degree. I liked how it touched on all the engineering disciplines, electrical, mechanical, and civil. It seemed to me that someone with the degree was more versatile in their field and had a business optimization side to them as well.”

"There are so many unexpected opportunities for me �鶹AV. One door after another has been opened for me. It’s turned me into a completely different person that I never would have expected.” 

“I was interested in health information management since I knew I wanted to work in the healthcare setting, but clinical care wasn’t for me. I love learning how to handle patient data and working with files and EHRs (electronic health records). I feel like I am actually going to make a difference in the business side of the medical field.”

“The dance program at �鶹AV showed me there are a million opportunities for work in the field of dance outside of the realm of performance, including teaching, choreographing, arts administration, dance history, lighting, and costuming. �鶹AV showed me how to find these opportunities, network, and market myself as a working professional in the field of dance no matter which avenue I decide on.”

“I know that I want to be in the business world and that this major provides me with many options for a career.” 

“Today, I serve on two nonprofit boards providing mentorship for youths and advocating on behalf of sexual and domestic violence assault victims in Washington, D.C. Currently, I am board president for Big Dreamz, Incorporated and a board member for The Safe Sisters Circle.”

“I really enjoyed the classes that had projects to build things that were similar to real-world applications, such as the database and video game classes."

“Having not had much formal dance training prior to college — I was more of a musical theatre dancer — the smaller, more concentrated classes at �鶹AV were beyond beneficial to me. Our teachers focused on clean/classic technique giving me a strong foundation for a career across styles.”
