Student Spotlight-Rocco Bueti

Rocco Bueti has big dreams of becoming an actor or writer. Right now, he’s a Management Information Systems (MIS) major with minors in English (film) and Business Analytics. If careers in acting or writing don’t pan out, he plans further schooling to earn an MBA in MIS and to work within a tech department as a computer or business analyst.

The sophomore from Westchester, New York knew UD was right for him after considering a few college choices. He was attracted to UD’s business school, the size of the undergraduate class, and the fact that ample opportunities were available. What really cemented his choice was UD’s beautiful campus, which he continues to enjoy with the great friends he has made.

His UST advisor, Sarah Hutnick, recalls that Rocco came in mostly thinking about business management, but then wanted to explore various options. Ultimately, after doing independent research and listening to a family member talk about their career, he realized that his interests lied more in the MISY side of Management rather than Management itself. Sarah went on to say, “Rocco seems to have a rare knack for both the logical/analytical and the creative/artistic. It was clear that it was very important for Rocco to have both of these elements present in his studies at UD”.

At UD, Rocco says his favorite things include: the many clubs and activities you can be a part of, his wonderful professors, Main Street, and the student centers. Speaking about clubs and activities, Rocco has played on many intramural sports teams and plans to try out for UD club basketball. He is currently a member of STN 49 (a television network run by UD students) where he participates in live shows: “Bi-Weekly” and “Hens Sports Night”. Rocco plans to join a business fraternity in the future.

Rocco’s advice for UST students? “Applying yourself and being ready to learn and succeed is KEY in succeeding here, and in life. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, you never know where that question will lead you in life/school. Fear is the worst thing to fall to, don’t let yourself be scared to try something”.

 

Major Spotlight- English

Major Spotlight- English

Have you ever thought, “what can I do with an English major”? Well, the answer is: more than you think! At the University of Delaware, the English major allows you to follow a flexible pathway towards your career goals. Thinking about a career in business or health science? An English major might be a great way for you to pursue opportunities in these fields by entering an applied writing pathway, learning how to adapt and target your writing for different audiences and situations. Additional pathways you can study that can lead to careers in a wide range of professions include: Creative Writing, Social Justice, Screen Studies, Environmental Humanities, and Literary History and Culture. This is definitely not the English major of the past, as the department has taken great strides to bring the program into the 21st century and offer interesting and relatable coursework. Check out more about why an English major may be right for you as well as all of the courses (and their descriptions) being offered in Fall 2023.
