How to Set Academic Goals: 4 Steps for Early College Success
Entering college is an exciting chapter filled with possibilities—but without a clear plan, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Setting academic goals can transform your experience from simply getting by to achieving extraordinary success.
This guide helps you master academic goals, stay focused, and unlock your full potential in your first year and beyond.

Does It Matter Where You Get Your M.B.A.?
Don’t invest your time and resources in just any M.B.A. program. The reputation of the business school where you earn your degree can influence your job prospects and network. It’s not just about what employers think or getting that first job, either. The quality of the education you receive can affect your staying power and your ability to flex with a changing environment and achieve your aspirations.
So, how do you find a high-quality M.B.A.? First, you need to understand what it means to be a top program.

How Changing Majors Transformed My College Experience
Declaring a major can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re unsure of your choice. Like many students, I selected a major without certainty and hit a few bumps. By my second year, I decided to change my major, which put me on the right track.
If you’re considering changing majors, don’t worry! With the right guidance, it’s easier than you think. Now, as a St. John’s University senior, I share how I successfully made the change and the campus resources that helped me.
