The goal of Academic and Career Planning is to provide career education and guidance to all students, teach goal setting skills, and build student capacity to strategically select coursework based upon area of interests and future goals. ACPs are fluid documents that are meant to guide the planning process, not a rigid structure to confine students to a particular pathway.
