College Knowledge
College Spotlight:
Many UTA alumni work at WLI, including Ms. Mosbeux and Mrs. Gross. UTA is a highly diverse school which is especially well-known for engineering, nursing and business majors.
Major is the subject that you take the most classes in at college. This is what you specialize in to prepare you for your future career. For example, if you want to be a doctor, you should probably major in Biology.
Minor is your next highest concentration of classes. This is a way to develop a special interest. Maybe you'd like to work for the non-profit organization Doctors Without Borders, so you minor in French to develop your language skills.
