Helps students take ownership, develop academic and transferable skills, and show the results of commitment and action so they are well equipped with the concentration, commitment, focus, and persistence necessary to succeed.MARKET: For First Year Experience, Student Success, and Introduction to College courses for students attending two year programs.
