IDS 110 - Student Success

Credit Hours: 1-3
The purpose of IDS 110 is to assist the new student in making a successful transition to Missouri State University-West Plains, both academically and socially, and toward the completion of the student’s academic goals. This course introduces students to the educational goals of the University and aims to foster a sense of belonging, promote engagement in both curricular and extra-curricular activities, and encourage life-long learning. The course also seeks to help students develop and apply essential study skills, information management, enhance critical thinking and communication skills, explore interests, abilities, values, and connect degree and career planning. Students are challenged to enhance their potential, understand their academic and social responsibilities, and appreciate diversity in an environment that supports their intellectual, personal and social development. Students who take a 1-credit hour IDS 110 will also need to take a 1-credit hour IDS 115 course in order to fulfill degree requirements.
