Career Development and Planning - V252 and H267
Career Courses
The Office of Career Services teaches one undergraduate course (BE252/267) that focuses on career development for SPEA students. BE252/267 is a required course for all SPEA undergraduates and constitutes 2 credit hours of class and one credit of internship experience. The course is a block enrollment course meaning that students who register before the late add/drop period will automatically be registered for V381/H466, which constitutes the third credit hour.
The purpose of the course is for you to develop your own career "tool box" and most importantly your own career identity. SPEA will give you the skills and resources to become self sufficient in your career development, but it is up to you to develop yourself.
The course is conducted in a series of units that mirror the course competencies. Each unit is part of the whole process of career development and you will see universal themes woven throughout the semester. The course will be highly interactive requiring your participation with lectures, videos, out of class activities and real world simulations.
Over the course of the semester, students are required to:
- Create a professional resume
- Create a professional cover letter
- Attend a mock interview
- Take the MBTI and SII
