College Pursuit designed a variety of workshops to guide students throughout the College Selection and Admission (CSA) Process. Students have the option to attend varied workshops and complete many of the specific tasks required in the CSA process. The goal-directed curriculum is purposeful and makes certain the student accomplishes required and significant tasks within the CSA process.
*Each student attending the workshop receives a College Pursuit Journal. The Journal serves as a tool to document the student's work, as well as guide throughout the CSA process.
