Me too, as our department is currently considering such a course.

At some institutions this is a sort of omnibus course that allows students, as soon as they declare a major, to prepare a program of study that will maximize their immediate and long term goals, with a fail safe in there someplace in case plans change. Some look at how to maximize psych goals in terms of core requirements. As well, it seems to often times be a combination careers course combined with an orientation to psychology as a science, with some information literacy components, APA style components, graduate school preparation components and others. If your department or program does, (or if you know about institutions that have such as program) can you please tell me about it, or better yet, send me a syllabus. There is only one on project syllabus for the course taught by Drew Appleby at Indiana Purdue. There are also a couple of careers courses but I am more interested in an omnibus course such as the one at Indiana. Thanks Annette Annette Kujawski Taylor, Ph. D.
