Curriculum for the Class of 2019
& the Class of 2020
The In+Sight program (formerly Career Flagship Program and the Life Experience & Action Dimension (LEAD) program) is the third integrated part of your multidimensional, career-focused education, alongside your major and the Core.
The curriculum steps outside of the classroom, so you will experience hands-on, practical learning through our signature events, professional workshops (SMARTalks), seminars, lectures, company visits and employer information sessions.
CAREER POSITIONING & PERSONAL FINANCE TRACKS
Each year, you'll complete a series of milestones focused on two key tracks, which are designed to accelerate your professional journey and ensure your smooth transition from college to career.
- The Career Positioning track will help you formulate your personalized career marketing plan.
- The Personal Finance track will prepare you to make important financial decisions in the future.
