The Alexandria Campus Counseling Service is committed to helping current and prospective students and alumni set career goals and deal effectively with life transitions. As everyone deals with career issues differently, we offer a variety of career/life planning courses. These include:
PSY 106 - Experiences in Personal Growth: Fouces on Career and Life Planning(3 credits)
Our most comprehensive offering, this course provides a group process in which students can assess their interests, skills and values and investigate the world of work. Throughout the 16-week semester, the class meets one evening per week for three hours. Psy 106 Syllabus
STD 106 - Preparation for Employment (1 credit)
This version of our standard Orientation course provides a brief overview of the career/life planning process. Activities include self-assessment exercises, job search strategies and resume/interview techniques. The class is held mid-day with sessions lasting 90-110 minutes.
STD 107 - Career Education (2 credits)(Extended Learning Institute)
This home study course is helpful for those who wish to go through the career/life planning process, but cannot attend a campus-based class. Topics covered are similar to those taught in PSY 106.

Extended Learning Institute (ELI)
STD 298 - PLACE Workshop (3 credit)(On Campus: Fall and Spring Semesters)
(Extended Learning Institute)
This three-credit course is designed to help adults earn credit for their life experiences and learning outside of the classroom. In PLACE, students prepare portfolios that will enable them to challenge individual courses and, at this time, earn up to 15 credits. Through PLACE and other programs designed to help students earn credit from life experiences, such as the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), students may reduce the time required to achieve their educational and career goals.
