  1. Create a personalized academic plan including college-level math, English composition, and 9 hours in the focus area in the first academic year.
  2. Describe connections between your degree choice and ultimate career choice after an interest inventory (Kuder).
  3. Differentiate resources available to you through Nashville State to support your success.
  4. Articulate connections between your courses and your ultimate academic goals.
  5. Reflect on your personal growth as a result of your education. Click on each of the five links on the left of this page to learn more.
