We expect our students to become life-long learners who are able to adapt to new careers and new professional challenges. The topics covered in your College Studies courses will help you do that. College Studies will enable you to explore the following areas, in concert with courses in your major. In surveys asking what skills employers consider most important in hiring entry-level employees to executives, decision makers consistently put the ability to communicate, especially in writing, at the top of their list.
Some people love it, some people hate it, but there's no escaping it.
You have to learn to write, and write well, to succeed. No matter what career field you enter, you'll write proposals, reports, memos, letters and other types of documents. You'll need to know how to write to share information, persuade others to your opinion and to provide instructions. Through the College Studies program you'll have plenty of opportunities to practice writing. Because knowledge is changing and expanding so rapidly today, learning how to learn is extremely important.
