Kathleen Finn, IWU class of 1999, whose interests are English and religion, was attracted to her multiple majors, in part, by the prestige associated with studying two widely varying fields. I'm proficient in two areas, rather than one. I made the most of my academic experience. He welcomes the challenge of studying two diverse fields, but concedes it's difficult at times. It takes mental dexterity.
Life can be hectic for students with multiple majors.
I also have to somehow read 15 chapters variously distributed among each of my five classes and complete other homework and papers that have to be turned in before Reading Day. Luckily though, I have roommates who de-stress me just by being them. Taking a Cue from History IWU's multitalented students are taking a cue from several historic figures who mastered an eclectic range of interests. For example, Sir William Herschel, a composer and oboist, also was a gifted astronomer who discovered the planet Uranus in 1781. However, history ranks Ives as one of America's classic composers.
