Why Plan?
ESC's philosophy hinges on individualized education, education that's meaningful to you as a learner, in both personal and larger contexts:
- What interests you as a learner? What are your life and learning goals?
- What skills and knowledge do you want/need to develop, and what do you already know?
- What does being college-educated mean? What do you think all people with college degrees should know?
- What are the important academic/professional concepts and issues in your field?
- What academic learning can carry over and help you in your workplace?
These are the types of questions you'll consider both individually and in discussion with your mentor as you plan your degree.
