Preparing for the Fields and Jobs of the Future

3 credits · Undergraduate

The course is concerned with giving students the tools to prepare for the fields and jobs of the future. Across all university departments and majors, the numbers of students who do not work in the fields in which they’ve received their degrees is not only significant, but growing. For example, anywhere from 20-40% of STEM graduates do not work in the fields in which they received their degrees. This does not mean that students shouldn’t major in STEM, but that one of the primary purposes of higher education is learning how to learn. Accordingly, this course presents a number of frameworks that are critical for thinking about that which has not yet been invented.
