7. Explore a potential area of study or new career direction before making a commitment to more intensive studies
Before taking the leap into a degree program, sample your options by taking one or two subjects in your chosen field first. Through CAP you can gain exposure to multiple disciplinary areas before deciding on the study area that is right for you.
