Cristina

Cristina graduated in May 2010 with a degree in Law and Society.  She also minored in Philosophy,Psychology, and History.  On campus she was the Treasurer of the Pre-Law Society, a member of the Liberal Arts Honors Program and Department of Sociology Honors Program, and was a Resident Assistant.  

My Choice:  "I chose the College of Liberal Arts (CLA) after exploring options in another college at Purdue.  Once in CLA, I was first attracted to the Industrial Design program, but soon transferred to the Department of Sociology. Compared to other options, the curriculum offered by CLA and the sociology department seemed best aligned with my academic interests and goals."

Your Choice:  "I would encourage others to choose the College of Liberal Arts if the curriculum excites and interests them. I think the most important part of your college career is finding a subject matter that plays to your strengths and leaves you curious and wanting more. For me, CLA offered everything I was searching for academically. Among the things that made CLA stand out were amazing and helpful faculty and staff members, flexibility in course choices, and seemingly unending curricular and extracurricular opportunities for personal professional development."
