Skills

President Holmes-Sullivan speaking to four students

You will develop in-demand skills for future-proof careers, combining the lasting impact of a liberal arts education (that features critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and effective communication) with highly marketable skills in the modern workforce, such as data visualization, search engine optimization, AI, Excel, and more. You will be able to articulate and demonstrate these skills to prospective employers in a way that highlights your skill development and co-curricular experiences.

Your career consultant can help you think about the skills you want to develop. Your College advisor or faculty advisor about possible courses you can take to help you learn skills related to your future career. Also explore co-curricular opportunities such as club leadership, planning a symposium, and/or volunteering in the community. There are myriad of ways to develop skills pertinent to your future career.
