Step by Step to College and Career Success rests on the idea that all beginning students have a better chance of collegiate success if they are comprehensively prepared for the challenges of their crucial first year. Not only do students need to develop strong academic skills and habits, but they also must learn how to manage time, maintain health and wellness, get involved in campus and community life, and respect and appreciate diversity. Both user-friendly and authoritatively research-based, Step By Step to College and Career Success balances theory with hands-on learning and offers students proven information and straightforward strategies that they can apply toward their success.
