Student Development

Student Development courses promote personal growth and assist with academic and career goals. They are generally one or two credits, with many offered conveniently on the weekends, evenings and on the Internet. They offer an opportunity to work on personal growth and development issues in a group setting. In SDEV, we understand that many students have families, jobs and other responsibilities that make returning to college a difficult undertaking. Our goal is to help make your transition into college a successful one.

Student Development courses will help you explore your personal potential. They can help you to take an active role in defining what is right for you. You will learn strategies to:

img Manage your time

img Take tests with more confidence

img Build healthier relationships

img Organize your life
