ACADEMIC PLANNING AS A CAREER STRATEGY

The following ideas were adapted from a handout given by the Division of Undergraduate Studies at Penn State to its students, who more often than not have great concerns about their University education vis-a-vis the job market. Addressing students directly, it is intended as a practical tool for academic advisors at all institutions of higher education regardless of size or scope. Those who find the contents helpful for their advisers should feel free to use this feature, partially or in its entirely, and should feed free to structure it for local situations.
