MGT8100 – Career and College Success Skills
Course Description
To succeed at college, in the workforce and in the community, we must adapt to changing environments, manage our time effectively, study efficiently, think independently, and make difficult decisions. At the same time, we are often required to collaborate and cooperate with others, exploit available resources and services, cope with pressure, and take responsibility for our learning and actions. In short, students must master the skills, strategies and discipline that, when taken together, allow a person to prosper in a complex and dynamic world. The purpose of this course is both to help students actively understand themselves and to develop and apply these skills and strategies in a supportive and collaborative learning environment.
Course selection points to consider: This course is suitable for students who would like experience with a college course but are unsure of what pathway they wish to explore, or the pathway they wish to explore is unavailable this semester. Students should be prepared to engage in group work.
