Description
In this course, the first seminar in Integrated Studies, students receive assistance from their instructor, other mentor figures, and upper-level Integrated Studies majors in crafting their prior and prospective learning experiences into a distinctive and coherent program. They refine their roadmap through creating the initial draft of an educational goals statement involving research into mentoring, internship, career and/or graduate study opportunities appropriate to their interdisciplinary interests. They document and assess transferable skills they have acquired through courses in general education as well as their disciplinary emphasis areas. Finally, they begin work on acquiring a series of badges certifying NACE competencies in the areas of Leadership, Professionalism, and Teamwork/Collaboration. Prerequisite: Completion of BCA 249 (or disciplinary 249 course) or Junior status (for transfer students).
