Student Stories
“You can cater your studies to where you want to end up. My two majors will help me understand all sides of the entertainment field: how to write stories, use a camera, engineer production, monitor social trends, and how to reach the consumer and get the consumer to care. It’s a pairing that’s perfect for what I want to do.”
