The comparison table is intended to provide prospects with a clear and easy way to compare the Seidenberg programs based on educational background and career goals. We would like your support to ensure we are capturing the most important aspects of the program as it relates to career outcomes. Please pay particular attention to the following:
- What you’ll learn
Have we articulated this appropriately? Is there a better way to express the learning outcomes? Is there room to cut out unnecessary text? - What you’ll do on the job
Have we captured this appropriately? Are there field-specific keywords or jargon we are missing? - Careers you could pursue
Have we captured the correct roles per program? Our goal is to get a consistent number of roles across degrees, potentially the top 5-6 most relevant and we’d like your help to remove and/or modify the current lists. If there are specific roles that fall across programs, please specify and we can consider a new career overlap category.
We welcome your input on anything we should add, remove, or modify per topic area. We’d like to reduce the content as much as possible to help ensure the comparison table is visually appealing. Please make edits or leave comments throughout.
