L_A 101L : Taking Your Major from College to Career (Online)

Course Description

Designed for students who want to strengthen the connection between their education and the workplace, this class uses chaos theory as a metaphor for today's job search. Students are guided through a comprehensive self-analysis of their major, coursework, and experiences using visual learning techniques to understand and articulate the value of their education to employers and graduate schools. Students will identify needed mindsets, develop a career action plan, write targeted marketing documents, and take full advantage of their education, regardless of major.
