I graduated in May 2014 with a BA in economics and a statistics minor. Dont let the size of the university intimidate you. Although I was placed into a class of over 1,500 students, the virtual broadcast of lectures in these select courses allows for a smaller classroom setting. I enrolled in several of these classes and all my professors knew my name by the end of the semester. By participating in several student organizations related to my major, I was able to actively engage and network with peers, faculty, and professional contacts. UCF also has an excellent experiential learning and career services program. Kyle Walker Requirements Analyst at Aon Hewitt 2012 – 2014, Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)
