Instructor: Anne Apigian has a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology and has been working in career services and academic advising at the University of Massachusetts Lowell since 2004. Anne is most passionate about helping adolescents and young adults figure out who they are, and helping them implement strategies for academic and personal success.

College Exploration Workshop is perfect for high school students who are thinking ahead to college, but unsure about what the application process entails or how to get started in their research. We go over a thorough application timeline, discuss strategies for researching best-fit options, and identify different categories of college majors. Students are encouraged to bring a laptop and get started (with guidance) on the Common App. Parents are invited to join us for the last portion, where we go over additional resources and discuss the next steps. A (virtual) follow-up meeting with the course instructor is offered to each student.
 

This course is designed to:
-Guide high school Juniors and Seniors through the process of exploring and researching academic majors and/or future careers that match their strengths, interests, personality, skills, and values;
-Introduce students to various research tools for exploring and comparing colleges;
-Provide an overview of the college application process with an emphasis on best practices;
-Orient students to the concept of college (with an emphasis on the terminology used in higher education, the differences between high school and college, study skills & time management strategies for a successful first year, and available college resources);
-Provide an overview of available majors within specific categories (Arts & Humanities, Business, Education, Health, Social Sciences, STEM).
