Business minor is perfect supplement for Gangwish, nutrition major

22 Mar 2013    

Jena Gangwish originally came to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to study pre-med and major in accounting so she could run her own medical practice. Then priorities changed and she decided that family aspirations were more suited to a path in a physician’s assistant graduate program. To prepare, she changed her major to nutrition through the College of Education and Human Sciences. However, she knew she still wanted business to remain a big part of her college education and also signed up for the business minor at the UNL College of Business Administration.

“Business is beneficial with any career path you choose,” Gangwish said. “I decided that I wanted to have a family at an earlier age, so I didn’t want to do med school because of the time requirements -- but people forget that running a family is like a business itself. I can apply everything I learn in my business classes to the home life.”
