Behavioral scientists know a great deal about success.
They have learned about the subject by observing people and organizations who are successful, and those who are not. Success in most situations is the result of specific behavior. The course is based on the assumption that students can learn the principles of success oriented behavior. Once these principles are understood, students can use them to develop attitudes, skill, and strategies which can assist them in increasing their level of success. The immediate objective is to help students increase their chances of success in college.
