1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.000
I participated in the Bachelor of Professional Studies Program

2
00:00:05.100 --> 00:00:08.520
in the College of Applied Sciences at Dominican University.

3
00:00:09.020 --> 00:00:13.160
And I majored in Human Services and Legal Studies.

4
00:00:13.260 --> 00:00:17.760
So I had two majors. I didn't necessarily want to be

5
00:00:17.780 --> 00:00:21.240
one that practiced law in the courtroom per se,

6
00:00:21.580 --> 00:00:25.840
but more or less to have the legal knowledge to be able to help others

7
00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:28.720
obtain resources in the communities,

8
00:00:28.730 --> 00:00:32.080
especially in the historically disadvantaged communities.

9
00:00:32.590 --> 00:00:36.200
Dominican University provided the opportunity for me to

10
00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:40.800
start an entirely new career.

11
00:00:41.430 --> 00:00:45.160
Many of my classmates were

12
00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:50.080
gaining more knowledge in the field that they were in, and some,

13
00:00:50.110 --> 00:00:52.800
like me were starting completely different careers,

14
00:00:53.050 --> 00:00:54.640
doing things that they had never done before.

15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.360
I would recommend Dominican University for the non-traditional students,

16
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:04.120
students that are going back to class a fifth,  trying a new career,

17
00:01:04.310 --> 00:01:08.360
even if it's just one class at a time, or two classes at a time,

18
00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:10.400
like I did every eight weeks.

19
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.000
Dominican University provided the opportunity for me to continue working

20
00:01:15.580 --> 00:01:20.240
as I, as I was and to study a year round.

21
00:01:20.380 --> 00:01:23.680
And I was able to complete my bachelor of professional studies with a dual

22
00:01:23.690 --> 00:01:28.360
major in three years. So I would recommend it for

23
00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:33.280
the older, you know, student. You know, I, I've,

24
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.720
I've always said to my friends and family that we,

25
00:01:38.300 --> 00:01:41.760
it is my intent to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.

26
00:01:41.860 --> 00:01:42.840
We never stop learning.
