Get Ready!

Last week we began a new curriculum in Advisory.  Get Ready! is a program designed by the Minnesota Department of Education to help students and families prepare for college: financially and academically. 

As part of the program we will be visiting a couple of colleges, and we want your input!  Which college should we visit?  Use the list of colleges below to explore the different colleges in the area. 

Augsburg College: Minneapolis

Bethel University: St. Paul

Brown College: Mendota Heights

Globe University: Woodbury

Hennepin Technical College: Eden Prairie

Macalester College: St. Paul

McNally Smith College of Music: St. Paul

Metropolitan State University: St. Paul

Rasmussen College: Eagan

St. Thomas University: St. Paul

University of Minnesota

Ask yourself, what could I learn here?  Does this look like a college I might be interested in?  What is it like to be a student here?  I will give you a graphic organizer to help you take notes on the different schools.  At the end of the week, you will have a chance to vote on the colleges you think we should visit.
