Prerequisite:
Completion of Activity 18 or an interest inventory.
|
Select
two or three colleges from the Post-ITT Website that you are curious
about or might want to attend.
Once you are on the Post-ITT home page, select Colleges and then link
to the colleges of your choice.
Find the addresses for these schools and write for the school
catalogs or continue to follow the links to find an on-line catalog
(if they have one). A sample letter can be found on the Post-ITT
Website (Activity 26 worksheet*).
Upon receiving each college catalog (or after printing the web
pages), write down which programs you find interesting. Refer
to the interest inventory you completed earlier in Activity 18.
Identify some of the jobs/occupations that are related to your
interests and skills and then look up the college programs in
the catalogs that match those interests.

 |
Discuss the information
you found with a parent, teacher, and/or high school counselor.
If these schools do not have programs of interest for you, select
two or three more colleges. Visit their home pages on the Internet.
|
 |
Repeat
the above activity until you find programs that interest you.
After discussing the colleges and college programs of interest with a
parent, teacher, and/or high school counselor, rank the colleges
by first, second, and third choice. |
