SCHOOL: Hampton University (class of '99)
MAJOR: Mass Media Arts with an emphasis in Broadcast Journalism
MINOR: none, Hampton didn't let us have minors but unofficially it was Political Science.
Current occupation: Network Coordinator, ESPN, Inc.
How did my major help me: Well, I'm working in television now and have been since I graduated so I can't complain.
What internships did I have? 4!!!! Yes, I had 4 internsips during my undergrad years. (WVEC-TV in Norfolk, CLTV in Chicago, NASA Langley Reseach Center, Hampton and the National Association of Television Programming Executive Convention in New Orleans)
I can't stress the importance of internships for those wanting to go into this business. Also, get involved and join professional organizations geared towards your major!!!
