Degree, Co-Curricular & Career Mapping

Degree maps give students targets to complete their degrees on time. Degree maps help students avoid taking unneeded classes and save time and money. Co-curricular mapping allows students to identify what opportunities are available and determine the out-of-class experience they want to create for themselves.

The Degree, Co-Curricular and Career Mapping team has charted a three-course path for this project that is intended to benefit students at each phase of their academic journey, from program selection to career entry, and support a holistic development.ÌýÌý

  • Co-Curricular and Career Maps will aid students in selecting a major, understand likely career paths, and choose co-curricular and career experiences at the early, mid, and late stages of their major that would most help prepare them for future jobs.Ìý These maps will eventually be available for students, parents, and community members to explore in the form of an interactive website.
  • 4-Year Plans of Study are a valuable resource to assist students in planning out a curricular path to fulfilling all degree requirements. A goal of the mapping team is to ensure that students are being provided with consistent and up-to-date resources to ensure timely degree completion, especially with regards to major changes.Ìý
  • Major Summary and Alumni Spotlight guides will provide prospective students will a succinct overview of programs and tangible connections to post-degree outcomes. These guides will prove especially beneficial to students selecting majors that do not present an obvious direct line to a career path (e.g. accounting, nursing).ÌýÌý
