The Enterprising MC Student
Starting their freshman year, students are introduced to the Enterprising MC Student model – a process to explore, experience, 参与 while discovering the skills they need to be successful in their future careers.
Throughout their years at McPherson College students become more adept at applying what they learn through this process resulting in a strong resumé to assist their job search. Initially students are encouraged to establish direction and declare a major then test that direction, try-out ideas and confirm their decision. 在后来的岁月里, students add to their knowledge base and experiences, make adjustments if necessary and increase their level of career involvement. 最后, students are supported in taking on leadership roles, 向人求教, engaging with industry mentors and interning with organizations within their desired field.
