Beginner, Intermediate, & Advanced Self-Directed Learning Modules
The Center for Professional Success is excited to offer three distinct career development learning opportunities that all CHSS faculty members can incorporate into their academic courses.

Each module is an asynchronous learning activity that was specifically created to address the career development needs of the following student populations:
- Beginner Module: Freshman & Sophomore Level Students
