There are 85 different majorsoffered at Bucks. The
Centurion asked students to
share their choice or major.
Not surprisingly, students gave
a plethora of unique responses.
Although many freshman
students at Bucks are not quite
sure what field they want to
major in, other students have
known even before getting to
college.
Bryan Lasala, 22, from
Chalfont, is studying criminal
justice.
When Lasala was young, he
knew that criminal justice was
what he wanted to do.
“The classes I am taking now
are a great help with my
major,” Lasala said. “Very
enjoyable classes with very
enjoyable instructors.”
Amanda McCasland, 20,
from Levittown, is a multimedia
major. McCasland said that
the classes she is taking at
Bucks are helping her learn
skills in her field of interest.
McCasland also said the
multimedia major was not
exactly what she wanted to
study, but was the closest
option that was being offered
at Bucks.
If multimedia does not work
out, McCasland is going to aim
for animation.
Allison Cryan, 22, from
Doylestown, is a liberal arts
major. Cryan said she likes her
major so far, but is thinking
about possibly switching to
study nursing.
The classes at Bucks that
Cryan is taking now are helping
her transfer to East
Stroudsburg, she said.
Brie Buck, 21, from
Levittown, is majoring in early
childhood education.
Buck said she has been interested
in this field for the last
four years.
Buck added that although
most of her classes at Bucks
were not very interesting, some
of her classes were extremely
beneficial.
“Most of the classes are prerequisites,”
she said, “but some
foundations of education and
early childhood development
classes have been pretty helpful.”
Rachel Smith, 24, from
Jamison, majors in cinema and
video production. Smith said
that, “This is something that I
have always wanted to do and I
will be continuing with this
major next fall.”
Talia Faden, 19, from
Bensalem, majors in fine arts,
but originally wanted to study
medicine.
“As a kid, I wanted to be a
nurse or doctor or a veterinarian.”
Faden said.
however, Faden does not
like blood – at all.
So, she made a change to the
field of art. Faden said that she
loves all kinds of art and hopes
to do a lot with art in her future
career.
Ela Yacob, 18, from
Newtown is studying criminal
justice and enjoying it, she
said.
“This is the first step to what
I really want to do.” Yacob
said.
Yacob plans to transfer to
Arcadia University within the
next year or two to take courses
in forensics.
