Many liberal arts students think they will "never get a job" and "never make any money". In fact, in most fields it doesn't matter what you major in, what matters is the experience you gain and how you can articulate your knowledge and skills. In this seminar we will explore life goals, career interests, skills and values, identify career resources on campus, and learn job search skills (resume writing for example). In addition students will learn to structure their career exploration by setting goals and timelines for exploring majors, minors and internships.
Open to first-year Humanities and Fine Arts Exploratory Track students and first-year HFA Majors.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
