Why did you choose to major in INDS?

I was set on both wanting to study sports medicine and go to UMBC. I met with an advisor and heard I might be able to do that in INDS.

What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?

After graduating, I will start my Master’s degree in Sports Nutrition. My INDS degree has prepared me for graduate school and beyond my giving me a foundation in research, critical thinking, and a tailored knowledge base I could not get in a traditional program.
