The Liberal Studies Program allows me to take many different classes, meet different kinds of people, and have a well-rounded education. This degree will provide me with a great knowledge on many different aspects of life, while still allowing me to apply to medical school and pursue my aspiration of becoming a doctor. Instead of getting only a science degree, I can expand my education and take more classes that I am interested in, graduate with a vast knowledge which professionally will help me better understand the needs of my patients, and hopefully shape me into a an overall better person.

I enjoy the liberal studies track because of the diversity in learning. I believe the Liberal Studies degree is one of the best degrees and showcases diversity in an individual unlike most other degrees. I am truly looking forward to my next classes in my Biology and Education areas of study and my Health Sciences minor, and finally fulfilling my dream of becoming a teacher.
