Taking the Next Step: College There are lots of things to consider as you decide to attend college. An undergraduate degree can launch you into a successful career, expand your skill set, enable you to change professions, broaden your world view and equip you with those crucial life skills (critical thinking, communication and problem solving) that stick with you whether you’re running a board meeting or the local soccer league. Financially, college is an investment in your career, as there is ample evidence that college graduates significantly out-earn those without degrees. You’ll be equipped with the tools to put you ahead of the competition. Beyond investing in your financial future, there are even studies showing that college- educated people tend to be happier, feel more fulfilled and are more likely to be involved in their communities. That’s pretty powerful motivation to start hitting the books! 2 | UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES | Life University
