What brought you to this program? What is a highlight of this degree at OSU?
The interdisciplinary foundations of the program provided me with the opportunity to concentrate in multiple areas and utilize both of my undergraduate degrees to synthesize ideas for research. The freedom to take additional courses outside of the college in other fields has allowed me to expand my knowledge base and improve my research by understanding differing perspectives.
