Is a minor in legal studies or something business/finance related a better fit for me?
I'm a college freshman double majoring in political science and philosophy. I'd like to declare a minor later on, but i'm not sure if I should go the legal studies route or something related to business/ finance. Legal studies would help prepare me for law school, but I'm interested in corporate law so I know having some background knowledge in business will also help me down the line. I'm already majoring in political science to help me in law school and philosophy to help me on the LSAT and bar, so I know legal studies can seem like i'm pushing it a little, but you can never be too prepared for law school.

How can I develop a career in Veterinary Medicine while also following my love of behavioral psychology? ?
I’m a senior in high school and have loved animals my entire life. For the past nine years of my life, I have been training dogs for competition obedience, rally, agility, and conformation. Since I was a little girl, I have wanted to build a career with animals, large and small. I especially want to pursue a career in reproduction as I have found that to be a very under serviced field in veterinary medicine. I have become extremely attached to the pathway since I own intact animals and struggle to find a Veterinarian who is able to take care of them. I have reached a cross-roads though. I love behavior and studying it. I’ve taken multiple college psychology courses and thrive learning many of these concepts. I don’t want to leave the pathway of Veterinary Medicine, but rather would like some help developing a pathway to combine both of my passions. #fall25
