BDIC | Wednesday, August 12, 2009 Educational Goals
When I started last fall at Purdue University, I thought aviation was the only subject I had an interest in studying further, but after two semesters of this conservatory-like education, I realized that aviation on its own was not enough for me. I needed more intellectual challenge and I needed to study something that would let me make my mark on the world; when I saw the BDIC program here at the University of Massachusetts, I knew my transfer to the University of Massachusetts was inevitable. All these factors somehow came together like a puzzle to reveal that I would combine my passion of aviation with the incredibly pertinent study of foreign policy to give me insight to some of the world’s hot topic issues and conflicts. Through my major I hope to gain an in depth knowledge of the science, law, and history of United States foreign policy. In addition, I will pursue the study of aviation through independent study courses at Northampton Airport, obtaining my Commercial Pilot – Multi Engine Land as well as Certified Flight Instructor-Instrument and Multi Engine.
