WHY WEBER STATE?

I attended SUU my freshman year of college in the hopes of becoming a doctor. After I realized that I wasn't truly passionate about majoring in Chemistry, I moved closer to home.

When I applied to the Goddard School of Business and Economics I was unsure what I wanted to major in. The Economics faculty sparked my interest while completing the fundamental courses.

ADVICE
