The US remains the source of most of the world’s ground-breaking developments in technology, business, arts, and beyond.
What av u bn doin after school:
I worked as an Informatin Officer in a Government parastata, Edo State House of Assembly, Benin City during my service year. I was retained to a staff even after Service year ended. I attend all parliamentary sittings, write news and all other duties as assigned.

How many sch :University of Georgia, Atlanta (Franklin College of Art & Science)
The City University of NewYork and

3 schools; University of Georgia, Atlanta (Franklin College of Art & Science)
The City University of NewYork and East Tennessee State University.

VO* How did you hear about the School?
Me: when I was using the search engines, I stumbled to www.studyusa.com, I sign up and request to be given Newsletter. After series of Newsletter, I got a form to fill the criteria for the schools I want, which I did, amongst the schools I applied to was ABC University.Also an alumni of the school who works in my place of work also told me about the school
Tell me about your school
me: this school is a public institution located in Johnson City. That was founded in 1911, with campuses in Johnson City as the main campus and Kingsport Campus.,Listed by The Princeton Review as one of America’s Best Value Colleges ,student-faculty ratio17:1. 11 colleges and 53 Dept.
Why did u choose ETSU:
Etsu gives students the privilege to take courses from their foundational background, which means I'll be taking more courses from English and Communication. I have been speaking with the director of the department, we've built a healthy relationship and she has been of great assistance.
Also, their Daylong writing workshop will help improve my writing and analytical thinking skills and give me the exposure that will be of advantage in my chosen career of taking an academic position in a university here in Nigeria,
Resumption Date: 21st of August.

Tell me bou ur course:
Liberal studies is by nature an interdisciplinary program, generally pulling together course work from various disciplined rangng from social sciences,behavioural sciences and humanities. It gives students the privilege to think critically and contextually about their discipline and various issues. It is a 31- Unit Coursework. I would be taking my core courses in Liberal Studies and my Electives from English Language, Regional and Community Studies, Communication Studies and Sociology. Seminar and Thesis would as well sum up in the coursework.

What is your study plan:
I’ll be studying Liberal Studies at East Tennessee University. It requires me to take:
10 credits hours for Core courses
18 credits hours for electives
and 3 credits hours for my thesis
all which are expected to be completed within 24months. After which I’d return to Nigeria to get an academic position in one of the top universities in Nigeria especially my Almer Mata, EKSU

Wah would ur course do for u:
Me- It will earn me a well rounded education as it is designed to educate on a variety of disciplines, rather than training me on a specific job. Having had a bachelor's degree in English, it will prepare me for a career in journalism, editing, technical writing and academics as intend taking up an academic position in my Alma mater after graduation.
Also, as an aspiring writer, liberal studies wiLil improve my writing,communication,critical thinking and interpersonal skills as I intend venturing into blogging where I'll be concentrating on the female gender and their challenges in the Nigerian society.

COURSES:
foundations in Liberal Studies
Seminar in Liberal Studies
Introduction to Interdisciplinary Study
Seminar in Interdisciplinary Research

V.O- Why did you want to change your Course of Study from what you studied during undergraduate days.
Me- I believe with Interdisciplinary course like Liberal Studies, I would have broad exploration of social and natural sciences couple with my initial knowledge of arts and humanities, with this I would be able to have all round knowledge to be in the academics. I also believe with Liberal Studies, I would learn communication effectively and understand as well as respect variety of cultures. I would also have variety of careers suit of my interests.

VO@@ How did you know about Liberal Studies?
Me- During my penultimate year (Level 300) as an undergraduate, A Professor of Liberal Studies named Prof. (Mrs.) Johnson came to our School for Sabbatical Study Leave. She narrated to us the benefits of studying Liberal Sciences. Her vast experiences, response to issues and way of life made me develop interest in Liberal Studies and she always advice us to follow her trend. She is my role model………

V.O- What are your Scores.
Me- I have 153 in Verbal, 157 in Quantitative and 3.0 in Analytical Writing.
Do you Intend to work in the States?
Do you intend to work in US
Me- I have been given Graduate Assistant Job, this would make me work only in the department for 20hours per week. Aside that, I have no plans of working.
