Happy Course Registration Week! While deciding what classes to take during the week, have you registered for CDI 201 or 301? You may be skeptical that it’s necessary or want to avoid a heavy workload, but you might need to know what these courses offer. Let’s take a look at these courses and why you should add them to your registration:
CDI 201 is a sophomore-tailored course typically offered in the fall. Its content spans over four weeks. It centers around undecided majors and helps them find suitable career paths based on their skills, interests, and values. Using resources like StrengthsFinder, Strong Interest Inventory, and major decision assessments, CDI 201 leads students through career exploration and decision-making. Some topics discussed in this course include advanced StrengthsFinder-based assessment, Strong Interest Inventory assessment, major decision assessment, and customized career action planning.
Conversely, CDI 301 is a year-round asynchronous course for sophomores, juniors and seniors, with sections divided by major. There are nine different courses for CDI 301, including AC/ACS/MA/ISAC/CFA-AC focus, BA’s and Leading with your Liberal Studies Major (BA/LSM), CIS, Consulting, CI/IDDC/MC/MG/MK/PS, DA, EC-FI/BE/QE, and FI/CFA-FI. Consulting is available for all students regardless of their major, but you can only take one CDI 301 per semester. CDI 301 offers students career development toolkits to refine interviewing skills and cultivate workplace readiness competencies.
So, why take these courses? Well, for one, you won’t need to worry about grades, homework, or these courses appearing on your transcript. Secondly, these courses are like having career coaches 24/7, giving you tons of resources to up your career development. It’ll also help you differentiate yourself from other candidates and allow you to showcase your skills and what you can bring to the table. What are you waiting for?
