Choosing a major. Choosing a career. How do you help students with choices in higher education leading to completing a program of study focused on a long-term career goal? The National Institute for Student Success (NISS) works with higher education institutions (including the College of Charleston) to provide coaching and support for more equitable enrollment, retention, and graduation outcomes. In this episode, Dr. Timothy Renick, NISS Founding Executive Director, discusses the importance of data-driven processes, including meta-majors for first-year students.
