College-to-Career (QEP)
As a key part of Georgia State’s Quality Enhancement Plan, we aim to make career preparedness a large part of a student’s academic pursuits. The College to Career initiative develops curricular enhancements that help students become aware of career competencies, connect those competencies to the work they do in their major and demonstrate their proficiency of transferable skills.
