Introduction

 

We have all heard the term "book smarts" or IQ and "street smarts" EQ or Emotional Intelligence. In today's world, people who have higher emotional intelligence tend to have better opportunities and fare better than those who have low emotional intelligence. Self-awareness or being aware of your resources, abilities, and limits is a big part of emotional intelligence.  

 

As a student in the Bachelor of Science program, you will be taking a variety of self-assessments to establish baselines, challenge your abilities, and learn about your limits.
