In the liberal arts environment, students gain a broad education
with essential communication and critical thinking skills. Students
do not learn generally how to communicate those skills to potential
employers or graduate schools. Oglethorpe, however, makes a
commitment to helping students reap the life-long benefits of their
education. Sophomore Choices is a career decision-making class
designed to help students begin planning their careers and includes
résumé writing and informational interviewing. Senior Transitions
picks up where Sophomore Choices leaves off and teaches the skills
necessary to implement the career decision.
