Career & Life Planning Seminar (UNIV 224)
"I initially enrolled in the UNIV 224 course my second semester senior year as a blowoff/ 'easy A' class. This class ended up helping me in ways I didn't realize I needed help in! Tips and feedback on professional sites, cover letters and resumes, and even interviews made getting a job less than 2 months out of college a piece of cake. I highly recommend this course, as I don't think I would've landed the full time position I did without the skills this class gave me." - Dee Napathalung, LUC Alum
Career and Life Planning Seminar is a 3.0-credit, semester long introduction to career-development perspectives, tools, and strategies. This course will help you clarify career identity and appropriate pathways, develop effective application materials, networking and job/internship search skills, as well as plan for next steps after LUC.
