EDL100 – Career Development and the College Student (2 credits)
EDL 100 is designed primarily for students who have yet to identify a major or career path. The course leads students systematically through the career exploration process, and helps students to develop skills related to career exploration. Skills gained from the course are related to learning about and reflecting upon themselves in a more systematic way (in particular their skills, interests, values, and personality), and researching career and educational opportunities that fit with their unique characteristics. These skills will help them as they continue to engage in career exploration at Miami and beyond. The course also serves to assist students in making initial decisions regarding both academic and career goals, and to improve their critical thinking skills.
