"One reason I looked into Farmington was because they have a major here that's Business Economics -- not just business administration and management. Here, you get the whole thing. You can even pick a concentration -- mine is marketing and management -- and take courses that zero-in on that area. I'm looking to go into the music industry ... maybe promotions or marketing, so I've taken management classes, marketing classes, economics classes."
