 If there’s one thing I’ve learned early as a business major, it’s that professionalism starts now — not after graduation. Whether it’s writing emails with clarity, dressing confidently for a career fair, or speaking up during team projects, small actions build your reputation. UNT has helped me start thinking like a future professional, and I’m excited to continue refining that mindset.

 Being a business major at UNT is more than just passing classes — it’s about preparing for the world beyond. I’ve started mapping out where I want to intern, what certifications I might pursue (like Excel or Google Analytics), and what type of business I’m most passionate about. UNT makes it easy to plan ahead, and I’m excited to turn my ambitions into action.

  Join a student organization — I joined an insert org like the UNT Professional Leadership Program, and it’s a great way to network and develop soft skills. Visit the career center early — You don’t need to wait until junior year to plan your career. Talk to your professors — They’re not just here to teach. They have real-world experience and connections. UNT offers so many tools — it’s up to us to use them!

 When I chose to major in business, I wasn’t just picking a degree — I was choosing a path to develop skills in leadership, strategy, and communication. The business world is evolving rapidly, and I want to be part of shaping that future. UNT’s business program stood out to me for its commitment to career readiness and real-world applications. I’m looking forward to internships, case studies, and the chance to grow into a leader who drives impact.

 Starting my journey as a business major at UNT has been eye-opening. From learning the fundamentals of economics to engaging in group projects that mimic real-world teamwork, every experience has helped me grow. But the most valuable lessons came from outside the lecture halls — like networking at campus events and managing my time effectively. UNT’s vibrant campus and supportive professors are making this transition both exciting and empowering.
