Students Find Their Passion Through Their Major
Chloe said she knew she made the right choice with CSM because of the people, including her classmates, staff and faculty.
Chloe, a junior, initially began college as a business major. But she wasn’t sure what she wanted to do. “I’ve had a love for writing for so long that I just switched my major and study a little more that I found a bigger drive and motivation,” said Chloe, now an English major with career aspirations to be a journalist or writer. She’s also seeking three minors in business, communications and Spanish.
“I love that your professors get to know you so well. They want that connection and personal relationship with you, so you succeed,” she said. “Your professors want to know your name, they want to know how you are as a student, and they want to build you up for success by the time you get to graduation. That’s what I was looking for in a college.”
