Becoming a doctor is no easy feat! As with many other career paths, the time dedication, organizational skills, and intelligence needed in this field are incredible. But before you become overwhelmed with the calling God has given you, Mica Allen has some insight!

When you ask someone at Huntington University what their major is, their eyes usually light up with passion for their chosen profession. I have found this to be especially true of nursing majors. One of my dear friends, Makailah Thompson, a junior nursing major and member of the HU Volleyball program, exudes the joy and heart necessary to be a nurse.

If you have a passion for health, nutrition, and exercise, HU’s Department of Kinesiology is the perfect place for you!
