FOS 100 Foundations of Success

This discipline-specific course is designed to empower new Strayer University students with the fundamental knowledge, skills, and strategies necessary to successfully meet the challenges of college, life, and careers.  By linking self-analysis, critical and creative thinking, and writing and discussion, students will develop unique perspectives on academic, professional, and life success.  Topics will include learning styles, goal-setting, time management, study skills, critical reading and thinking, research strategies, and the importance of understanding one’s goals in the larger context of economic and industrial trends.  The final project of the course is a Success Plan reflecting a student’s understanding of past and present challenges and opportunities and a sound strategy for achieving academic, professional, and life success.
