For my final Baruch Blog post, I attended the November Majors/Minors Fair. At the Majors/Minors Fair, I was able to connect with advisers and faculty from different academic departments to learn more about what their programs can offer Baruch students. After speaking with the representatives from the Department of Natural Sciences, I became more aware of the different options and directions I could pursue alongside my Biology degree. The Department of Natural Sciences at Baruch’s Weissman School of Arts and Sciences offers a variety of flexible programs that can be tailored to my interests to help achieve my career goals. The representative I spoke with, informed me of all the opportunities I could partake in to enhance my resume for future employers and/or Medical Schools. Although I spent most of my time at the Natural Sciences Department table, I did get the opportunity to explore all of the other exciting options Baruch has to offer its students. Many of the faculty recommended having a non-scientific minor to complement my biology major. This is a possibility I will definitely be considering in the upcoming semesters, leading to the declaration of either my double major or minor.
What made this event so helpful, was the fact that it was filled with advisors and faculty from a wide range of the majors and minors on campus. This allowed me the opportunity to interact not only with informants from my major, but also with great faculty from varying departments. All in all, this fair was a great success, and it has helped me to move on forward with my career choices at Baruch.
