WHAT WILL YOU STUDY AT UNIVERSITY?

You might come across with the word “major” many times when you read about universities. It is basically the main subject that a student studies at university. One of the biggest decisions that students have to make while graduating from high school is what subject they want to major in. Some very popular options are engineering, computer sciences, economics and communications. But what about bowling industry management and technology, floral management or bagpipe performance? Yes, you read it correct. Some universities offer more specialised areas, which many people might find odd. Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, offers a bachelor of fine arts degree in Bagpipe Performance. Bagpipes are the traditional musical instrument of Scotland and Ireland. They are not common as a musical instrument as the guitar or the piano but if you are interested in being a bagpiper you can study it at university. There you would be able to get a grounding in music and a specific instruction on the instrument.

If you are not that interested in music or bagpipes, you can study bicycle design and fabrication. If you love cycling and want hands-on experience in the development, testing, and production of the many components that make up a bicycle, then the Bicycle Design & Fabrication programme is definitely for you. You can study this two-year programme at Minnesota State College Southeast.

You might want to keep cycling as your hobby. What about another hobby that you can make your major at university? If playing bowling is one of your hobbies, then you might consider studying Bowling Industry Management and Technology at Vincennes University. According to the United States Bowling Congress, bowling is a big business that is enjoyed by more than 70 million people each year. Graduates can start working at a bowling alley at a managerial level after graduation with an average salary of $4000 a month.

Another interesting major might be Floral Management. Even though flowers are important in some people’s lives only on special days like Mother’s Day or birthday, some people actually choose it as their major at university. Mississippi State University in the USA offers students a career in floral retail, wholesale, design, styling, or display gardening feels and smells like. Most graduates prefer to start their own businesses up on graduation.
