Graduate Profile: Andrea Miller
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.”
Miller, a Cadillac native, is planning to begin her master's degree program in humanities. Her minor allowed her to focus her history major while still taking a wide range of classes.
“The American Studies minor fit nicely with my history major. I have a real passion for American history and this minor definitely supported that. ”
“I have always been interested in all aspects of the American culture,” she says. “The American Studies minor fit nicely with my history major. I have a real passion for American history and this minor definitely supported that.”
Attracted to Alma College by the small campus, Miller was a member of the History Club and cross-country and track and field teams during her time at Alma. She also worked at campus radio station WQAC and the admissions office.
“I loved how Alma gave me the opportunity to be more than just a number,” she says. “It was a real, personal education.”
