Transitions (SCH-MGMT 191T):

Welcome to Transitions, your 1st year seminar! Transitions is a one-credit class in which you will learn a lot about life in Isenberg and at UMass, including more about our business majors, careers in different majors and industries, student clubs, resumes, networking, and a whole lot more. Transitions is a late-day class. Be sure to expand your class schedule to include any classes after 4:00. For now, check out the Isenberg career and professional development website IConnect. You can learn a lot about what’s going on just from poking around on it. Note: you can log in and access all IConnect’s content now that you’re an Isenberg student!
