Current Academic Studies Reflection

I have not officially declared my major, but as of now I am planning on majoring in Finance. Most of the courses I have taken so far are business-related: Accounting, Finance, Management, and Marketing. These courses were all taught at an introductory level with basic concepts in each. I have already described the course contents of  Accounting, Finance, and Management, and how they relate to the job I am seeking. Those classes, along with Marketing, have increased my knowledge in the business-world and have made me more comfortable with business concepts. I did not just learn “textbook” information, rather during each of these classes my professors would also share their personal from working in these industries. This has taught me what to expect in the workplace when I get a job, and how to react properly. I have also taken non-business related courses, most of which were taken just for General-Education credit: FRENCH 137 (the history of Paris), SRA 111, ARTH 307 (American art history). Although these courses had nothing to do with business, they still taught me how to think of situations and different ways and use various approaches to solve them. For example, SRA focused a lot on cybersecurity and how to protect your systems- I learned about the different risks of hackers and their tactics to penetrate/obtain a victim’s information- this is something I have never really thought about before, but now I think about/ try to protect against it whenever possible.
