This course covers everything needed to apply for admission to undergraduate and graduate colleges in the US, taking the student step-by-step through the whole process. Everything from deciding what the student really wants from college education to submitting an impactful college application is covered. Everyone from high school freshmen to rising seniors in college can benefit from the content here. This course delves deeper into all areas of the college application process.

There’s no doubt that choosing a major is a big decision and one that many students agonize over. As a nontraditional student, you likely bring some life experience and have a better idea of what you’d like to do when compared to a recent high school graduate. Statistics show that over the course of a person’s lifetime, they will work an average of 90,000 hours. That’s a lot of time. This time, if not mapped out properly, can be costly and less than satisfying.

A college degree opens doors. You learn to process new ideas, incorporate skills you never had and gain exposure to a much broader world. That being said, many skills are transferable from one career to another. Instead of thinking too far ahead and choosing a career for the next 40 years, consider what you think you’d enjoy for the next 10 years. After that, you’ll have many professional contacts and a better sense of what’s important to you in a career. You may choose to return to school for another degree or an employer may be willing to train you on the job if you want to change your career path.
