experimental practices in music. What is that?

The program is wide open and largely unstructured, so it means different things to different students here. Some will say that "Experimental Practices" refers to applying the critical studies part in novel ways to music, while others will claim that it refers to actual musical practice. I like both explanations. I pursue music criticism (not the journalistic variety) with theories and methods gleaned from other disciplines, and I perform new and experimental sorts of music.

That explanation was way too long...

I'm aiming for a doctorate in Computer Engineering ...

College courses for high school + college credit = my AS before I finish senior year .

meh, rush through college if you want. I don't know about the rest of you but 4 years is a pretty damn good time. I am in my 4th year..and yeah i am pretty sick of it now...but right up until this point i was all about it.

 

[skim milk]

if I could do it all over again... I would major in Industrial Engineering
with a math minor


I think a Finance major with a math minor is good too

but I guess I'm happy with my current major... I have interviews at two of my top choices for a summer internship so I'm doing something right

Well hello there
Looks like me and you are the only two chemical engineers in this thread.

1st major: statistics with intented minor in physics
2nd major: chemical engineering with minor in statistics.

 

[Uppsala9496]

Political Science (with a specialty in Peace and Conflict Resolution)
History

Both of those degree's landed me in the insurance field since it paid well....

 

[Dualist]

Major: Broadcast Media
Minor: History

Looking back I wouldn't have double majored

why? i'm double majoring and sort of in the same situation. (science/language)
just wondering why you sort of regret it.

Technically, I've never changed my major, but I have changed the specific degree within my major a couple of times.

Major: Biology

Degree: BA in Human Biology -> BS in Genetics -> BS in Cell Biology

Graduate: Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (umbrella program). Haven't chosen a degree yet b/c I start in august.

 

[erickj92]

My major is Computers

 

[eunsang]

Major: changed from Physiology and Neurobiology to Molecular Cell Biology
Minor: Biology, Chemistry

just graduated... and its hard as hell to get a job with this major without leaving my state.

 

[Journer]

MIS has been my major from the start...my minor is chaning atm though...

 

[MBrown]

It was general studies, then I changed it to computer technologies, then I changed it to electrical engineering technology.

 

[Shawn]

Major: Biology
Minor: Chemistry

Triple Major:

Computer Science
Computer & Electrical Engineering
Physics

Lots of course overlap, so might as well go for all three. It's like 120 units for each one, but 180 or something like that for all three combined.

Computer Science I could teach and I'm just going for the piece of paper. Physics is fun. But the engineering is what I'm benefiting the most from. While you can teach yourself to program and download or even pirate the necessary software free (for educational purposes of course), you can't exactly download a $10,000 oscilloscope and $20,000 logic analyzer to teach yourself RF systems and bus protocols... having access to a lab for the hands on 'see it for yourself' experience is a must.

 

[UTmtnbiker]

Undergrad: Electrical Engineering
Master: MBA
PhD: Looking to start my PhD next year in Organizational Management

 

[ForumMaster]

Computer, CISCO and Biology. CISCO is actually CCNA in high school. so cool!

 

[Gdepp519]

Masters: 3D Animation (will be done 2008)
Major: Studio Art
Minor: Business Management, Arts Administration

 

[KarthVader]

Major: Physiology
I also want to go to medical/DO school

it pigeon holed me into certain classes. some of the classes i wasn't interested in but i had to take because they were prereqs for my language major.
