Bachelor of Science in International Business Administration

The graphic communications philosophy centers around a unique ideal of hands-on learning. The concept of Clemson's Graphic Communications program is unique among higher education. It is described by some as innovative while others say it is traditional. It borrows the best from traditional industrial education, wherein lie its roots, and it takes the best from the most modern technologies, which are essential to an appropriate preparation of young professionals. As students we are taught to be dedicated, practical problem solving people for the printing, publishing, imaging, packaging and allied industries. These precepts combined with the right mix of people - both faculty and students - as well as the curriculum and the extensive facilities make us who we are....

I achieved my degree in English while minoring in secondary education. I earned my general honors certificate and maintained a high GPA throughout school, graduating with a cumulative GPA of 3.82. I was also highly involved in Gamma Sigma Sigma, a service sorority, by being elected vice president of my pledge class and later vice president of the whole sorority. One of my proudest achievements was being voted "most dependable" by my pledge class. While studying full-time I also worked to pay for many of my expenses....
