ID099 PO - Integrating the Liberal Arts

When Offered: Each fall
Instructor(s): M. Diercks
Credit: 0.5

It can seem seem daunting or scary when people ask what you are learning from your liberal arts education, and what you are going to do with that knowledge after you leave college. But it is important to have answers to them as you move to post-grad life, for both personal and professional reasons. The goal of this short course is to help students construct a narrative about their own personal educational journey as well as identify and verbalize what skills, mindsets, and knowledge they are acquiring/have acquired. We will do this through personal reflection exercises, group discussion of relevant questions, and interviews with those who have traversed the same path before. The course combines a reflective stance with a future-oriented stance, completing tangible tasks related to the post-college transition such as resumes, cover letters, and information interviews. Previously offered as LGCS170 PO and LGCS 155 PO.
