Description:

This course is the culminating academic experience for students in the professional studies major. Students integrate the significant learning achieved from courses, programs, and life/work experiences and make plans for their future. This seminar helps adult learners cope with their particular ending-beginning situations, identify their strengths to reinforce a positive sense of self, obtain support as they move into the next transition, and develop strategies to deal with change. During the seminar, students review the challenges that adults face in developing new life and work roles, such as developmental issues faced by "aging" students,including life-span concepts, age discrimination in the workplace, or the loss of structure that "going to school" givesadult learners. Students conduct a reappraisal of their goals and are encouraged to consider how the different parts of life fit together (intellectual, social, emotional, physical, vocational, spiritual). Prerequisite: Senior status (completion of at least 90 semester hours of credit toward the degree) and UCS 101.
