SAS 303 - Career Exploration, Graduate School Planning, and School-to-Work Transition

1 credit
Offered in cooperation with Career Services, this sequence is available to both Success at Southern/Student Support Services students and other undergraduate students. Career Exploration (SAS 301) focuses on clarification of career and academic goals, such as choosing a major. Students are encouraged to begin or continue practicum, service-learning, or internship experiences aligned with their career goals. Graduate School Planning (SAS 302) is designed for juniors who are considering graduate school. This course helps students respond to questions about graduate school, such as the following: Is graduate school right for me? How do I apply? How do I finance graduate school? How do I prepare to take the entrance exams? School-to-Work Transition (SAS 303) focuses on the transition from the academic environment to employment in one’s chosen career field. The course covers finding and applying for jobs, creating a resumé and cover letter, interviewing, job negotiating, and coping with the anxiety that may accompany this process.
