KSU 4401 SENIOR SEMINAR: Plan for Success after College by taking this innovative institutional capstone course designed to assist seniors in the transition process of graduation. The four goals of this three-hour elective course are:

Reflect: Seniors will map their college learning experiences to honor the scope of their accomplishments, understand their transferable skills, and better connect with their roles of productive citizens. Seniors explore joining a business, starting a business, serving in the military, and/or giving a year of local, national, and/or global community service by connecting with the latest research on citizenship and career.

Career Search: Using the university resources, students will learn how to career network, prepare resumes, fine-tune employment interviewing, negotiate salaries, and connect with professionals for mentoring guidance in the career search. Take advantage of the services of the Career Services Center, which include, Owl-Track for posting resumes, on-campus interviewing, career fairs, on-line career fairs, researching salaries, working with career counselors for practice-video interviewing and one-on-one resume counseling. For those interested in starting a business, the services of Small Business Development are utilized.

Graduate School: Using the CAPS Center, seniors can prepare for the graduate school experience by learning how to research graduate programs, prepare applications, search for financial assistance, and develop a curriculum vitae featuring discipline expertise.

Produce a Professional Portfolio: Joining this national collegiate movement, seniors will produce a Best of Show Portfolio that showcases the history of their college experience. The portfolio is designed to best market skills, showcase accomplishments and connect students to their personal professional goals. For seniors interested, the resources of the Presentation Technology Center and the instructional Technology Services are used to give instruction on producing a CD Portfolio.
