Describe your experience at CALS

Because I have a strong interest in the sciences as well as business, CALS was a great fit for me.  Not only was I able to be exposed to top professors in the life sciences, I was also able to gain a strong background in business from the accredited undergraduate business program, Applied Economics and Management.
