Message: [QUOTE="Argonaut, post: 3274947, member: 9658"] For Pulido, she was on a pre-med track with a psychology major because she was considering going into neurology. Spring of her senior year, she took [URL='https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-uconn-women-briana-pulido-0227-20160226-story.html']biochemistry, Physics II, a physiology psychology lab and [was] doing research.[/URL] She wasn't cutting corners for basketball. She ended up with a master's in Global Sustainability from South Florida. But she left UConn with the foundation she would have needed for med-school. [IMG]https://magazine.uconn.edu/content/uploads/2017/09/faces-of-farming-lawlor.jpg[/IMG] Lawlor had an individualized major in Sustainable Farm and Ranch Management. It was a mix of agriculture and economics courses, and she said she switched to it from civil engineering because she missed the [URL='https://magazine.uconn.edu/2017/09/07/the-next-generation-of-farming/#']animals she worked with in high school at a horse boarding facility[/URL]. Yes, she switched majors, but from all indications it seemed to be much more in her wheelhouse. As for Maya, I'm pretty sure it's common practice for graduating seniors who are draft bound to only take only one class their last semester on campus. She still needed the 66+ credit hours she needed to finish her degree and you know they're on campus taking classes in the summers -- something most students don't do. Any of the individualized majors need a university minimum of 66 credit hours, with 36 hours being 2000 level classes and above, and include a capstone project. CLAS and CAHNR both have specific requirements for creating and declaring those majors. These are kids that have been regularly missing school for athletic events since at least high school, so I'd imagine they're coming in already able to navigate how to talk to teachers/professors and balance their workload. The kids who have struggled to do that, Geno doesn't seem to go after. Paths change, like you said, but it doesn't seem like they went down a non-academic path for the sake of the Geno Auriemma College of Basketball. [/QUOTE]
