COLLEGE LEARNING.

Catalog description

A first-year seminar that introduces students to the strategies and behaviors necessary for academic success, personal growth, and career development. Emphasizing self-assessment, self-exploration, and cognitive theories, students will complete a self-change project to apply these concepts. The course aids the transition to college by helping students identify their individual needs, recognize the role of faculty in their development, and formulate a plan for an actively engaged academic experience. Topics include critical thinking, study skills, major exploration, and career pathways. Experiential learning opportunities, such as undergraduate research, leadership, global connections, community engagement, and career development, will be explored, connecting students to campus activities and resources that support their goals from college to career.
