Choosing Success focuses on how good decision-making skills determine success in all aspects of life.From study skills to money management, Choosing Success applies active and service learning techniquesas well as the 5C decision-making model to prepare students for success.

By incorporating a decision-making focus into every chapter, Choosing Success emphasizes accountabilityand conveys to students how important they are in their own success. Students do not merely become successful, but rather they choose to be successful.

Choice starts with the decision to acquire a secondary education, and from then on everything studentsdo is based on their decision-making skills. The more they practice good decision making, themore control they have over their successes and failures. Choosing Success is unique in that it providesstudents with a process for decision making as well as numerous opportunities to think through thechoices and decisions they face as a college student-and beyond.
