The Simmons General Education Program: PLAN (Purpose Leadership Action)

On-Campus Students

While taking courses in the Simmons PLAN (Purpose Leadership ActioN), our general education program, students will hone their writing skills, develop their own understanding of leadership, engage in integrative learning across academic disciplines, and design key components of their course of study. PLAN brings the Simmons principles and values into the present day. Students will complete the Simmons PLAN over the entire four years of their college experience.

(Note: All students who matriculate with an associate’s degree are exempt from all PLAN courses.)

Online Degree Completion Program Students

Online Degree Completion students will, similarly, hone their writing skills, refine their own understanding of leadership, engage in integrative learning across academic disciplines, and design key components of their course of study.

(Note: All students who matriculate with an associate’s degree are exempt from all PLAN courses except the capstone.)
