International Relations and Management
I’ve always wanted to study both international relations and business because of how interdependent they are and their relevance to our society today. I chose to study these topics through the dual program at Syracuse because of how it prioritizes leadership, critical thinking, and technical skills in a way that really challenges me and prepares me for my professional goals.

Psychology and Photojournalism
I chose to pursue a dual program because Newhouse will help me market myself even more effectively to graduate schools and potential employers. My combined training in psychology, photojournalism, and graphic design will help me appeal not just to my colleagues in clinical psychology, but to millions of people who do not have a science background but wish to better understand mental health.
