7 Habits of Highly Effective College Students
Helps college students learn the habits that lead to success in their academic and personal lives by discovering their personal mission, setting goals, prioritizing tasks, and teaming with others.
Challenge
Many students underperform or drop out of college because they lack both a vision for their education and the self-management and life skills necessary to accomplish that vision.
Drawing on extensive survey data, FranklinCovey has found that a lack of essential life skills consistently ranks as a top reason students fail to succeed in college. Many students struggle to: balance work, family, and school responsibilities; resolve relationship conflicts; manage personal finances; set and achieve academic goals; and maintain physical and emotional wellness.
