A colleague of mine, Dr. Claudia Stanny, who's a psychology professor at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida, was telling how, when she was in college, she didn't really know what to do when she "grew up." At that college, she was required to take one psychology course for her general education requirements. So she bought a little booklet with comments from students about the professors. (These days, those lists are all online!)
She was looking through the booklet and found this comment about one of the courses: "...if you only take one psychology course here, take this one with this professor." So she did. And the rest, as they say, is history. She changed her major to psychology and now is a professor.
How wonderful if every single person who ever takes a course - in high school, in college, online or in a classroom, could look back and recall that one special course!
Inspiration is so important to human beings, and finding - sometimes stumbling across - something that changes your life...well, it might not get any better than that!
At Granite State College, we want every one of our students to have a life-changing experience. We offer many different courses and areas of study. You'll have an advisor who will guide you through required courses, courses in your major, and some extras. If you're not sure what you want to do "when you grow up," your advisor can help you with looking at different areas that might interest you.
And maybe you'll be lucky enough to look back one day and say that your college experience changed your life!
