“Although I loved the school, I realized that the program I was in was not for me. I decided to return back to school in the fall at The University of Akron, pursuing a degree in financial planning closer to home.”

“I transferred to UA because of the I/O psychology program. But in talking with my professor and doing some research, I discovered that I am a more of a hands-on person. That led me to change my major to HR.”
