I chose to participate in Degree in Three because going into college, I was already ahead of my peers. I wanted individualized plan of study that fit my needs. Degree in Three helped me better plan for my future. It has also saved me money and has allowed me to get a head start in landing my dream job in the marketing field.

I chose to participate in the Degree in Three program because of the benefits and resources that it provided me to further my career goals. Degree in Three made it so I didn’t have to worry about what classes I needed to take each semester as I was provided with a plan for my whole degree. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities and friendships that were possible because of the Degree in Three program and Florida State. It has pushed me to work harder in all my classes so that I can graduate early. After graduation, I will be interning with the number one accounting firm then working towards a master’s degree in accounting.

I chose to participate in Degree in Three because I wanted to take advantage of tackling my college career in a timely manner. I arrived with college credit and wanted to excel beyond the limitations often placed on people like myself. I genuinely wanted a challenge. I plan on taking a gap year before pursuing law school. During my gap year, I plan on studying for the LSAT and staying involved with my Tallahassee and FSU community, as I am a Tallahassee native.

It’s a different experience coming into your first year of college already being a junior because of college credit earned through dual enrollment. Degree in Three allowed me to take full advantage of being such a young senior. Without them it would have been difficult having figured out the right steps to make to graduate and prepare for graduate school!

Degree in Three has allowed me to maximize my time during my undergraduate career. I was able to double major in Political Science and Criminology. I was also able to connect with other students like me. After undergrad, I plan on joining an organization dedicated to increasing educational equity and widening the number of opportunities for children from low-income backgrounds.
