I switched my major three times, each time in a different academic college. OU supported me while I explored my major options and gave me the confidence to figure out my path to make it happen. Every step of the way, I was encouraged to explore my interests. Now, I am double majoring in healthcare business and marketing. I can’t wait to see where it takes me!”
