Research Journal Assignment #1: Areas of Academic Interest

I have not declared my major as of yet, however, I am interested in the following:

1. Music ( Concentration in Voice Performance)


2. Sociology ( Working with minority students in seeking higher ed.)

I would like to research the the pro's of keeping music programs in schools.

Some websites that show support for keeping music in school are as follows:

As Sociology being another area of interest, I would like to find the statistical information and rention rate of a minority student in college, and the reason they wish to pursue and decline their college education.

I found a valuable website in which could help me with my research at:

I will further more find outside resources to gather the information on either subject of my interest. I think I will determine the subject in which I will write about depending on the amount of research I am able to entail.
