Andrea Miller
Graduation: 2006
Major: History
Minor: American Studies
Andrea Miller hopes her American Studies minor coupled with a history major will lead her to a career in museum work or work at a national historic site.
“American Studies allowed me to get the chance to take a variety of classes and see how each class fit nicely with other classes I was taking at the time,” the 2006 graduate says. “It gave me a great base for my major, as well as a liberal arts education in general.”
