Planning Courses

A 2-credit hour class, entitled Career Planning and the World of Work, SLS 1301, is offered throughout the academic year. This course assumes that career choice is a continuous process involving the understanding of self and one's environment. Using assessment instruments as well as group discussion, students will utilize decision- making techniques to select a career direction, which is compatible with their aptitudes, abilities, interests, and personal values.

A 1-credit hour class, entitled Computerized Career Exploration, SLS 1401, is also offered throughout the academic year. This is a self-paced information gathering process designed for students who have not decided, are having difficulty deciding, or need clarification in making a career choice. Topics will include work related interests, values, clarification and identification of abilities. Various computer based career exploration activities are scheduled at the convenience of students. There are no formal class hours. A minimum of fifteen hours of documented interaction is required for course completion.

Students schedule their interactions with computers and counselors at times that are mutually convenient for staff and students. Refer to the class schedule for precise information.
