    Course Title: BECOMING A HEALTHCARE SPECIALIST Number of Credits: 2 Credits (30 hours) Click Here to View Syllabus UMass Global University Course Code: EDRU 9964 Objectives LEARN CONCEPT 1: Healthcare is a calling built on service, science, and human connection. At its core, healthcare is about showing up for people in their most vulnerable moments. Whether it is a doctor diagnosing illness, a nurse providing care, or a dentist restoring confidence, every role exists to improve lives in real, measurable ways. LEARN CONCEPT 2: There are multiple pathways into healthcare, each requiring dedication and preparation. Becoming a physician, nurse, or dentist follows different educational paths, but all require discipline, long-term commitment, and early preparation. This course helps students understand those pathways clearly. LEARN CONCEPT 3: Skill, training, and responsibility directly impact human lives. Healthcare professionals make decisions that can save or endanger lives. Proper training, attention to detail, and communication are not optional—they are essential to safe and effective care. LEARN CONCEPT 4: Preparation starts now, not later. The habits, coursework, and experiences students build in high school shape their future opportunities. Early exposure, volunteering, and academic focus create a strong foundation for success in healthcare careers.  

    Course Overview

    Healthcare is one of the most essential and fastest-growing career fields in the world. This course introduces students to three major healthcare pathways: physicians, nurses, and dentists, while helping them understand what each role truly requires.

  • Becoming A Lawyer (2 Grad Credits)

    Course Title: Becoming a Lawyer Number of Credits: 2 Credits (30 hours) Click Here to View Syllabus UMass Global University Course Code: EDRU 9955 Objectives LEARN CONCEPT 1: Law is a system that shapes everyday life. The legal system affects housing, business, education, family life, and individual rights. Lawyers operate within this system to solve problems, protect people, and navigate complex rules that impact society daily. LEARN CONCEPT 2: Lawyers are professional problem-solvers—not just courtroom performers. Most legal work happens through reading, writing, researching, and advising. Strong lawyers understand details, anticipate risks, and use logic to guide decisions long before a case ever reaches court. LEARN CONCEPT 3: Logic, reading, and argumentation are core legal skills. The foundation of law is the ability to analyze information, identify flaws in reasoning, and construct persuasive arguments. These skills are valuable not only in law, but in any career. LEARN CONCEPT 4: You can begin building legal skills now. Students do not need to wait for law school to start developing relevant skills. Reading deeply, writing clearly, debating respectfully, and thinking critically are all accessible starting points for a future in law.  

    Course Overview

    Every society relies on laws to function, and every law requires people who understand and apply it. This course introduces students to the legal profession, exploring what lawyers actually do, the different types of legal careers, and the path required to enter the field.

    From Student to Legal Thinker

    Most people see law from the outside—as rules or court cases. Lawyers see the structure behind those rules: how laws are written, interpreted, challenged, and applied. This course helps students shift from simply following rules to understanding how legal systems work. Students will examine real-world legal scenarios, learn how arguments are constructed, and explore how lawyers influence outcomes that affect individuals, businesses, and entire communities. By the end of the course, students will understand both the opportunities and responsibilities of a career in law.

    The 5 Traits of Successful Legal Professionals

    Analytical Thinking: Ability to break down complex information and identify key issues Communication: Clear writing and persuasive speaking Attention to Detail: Precision in reading and interpreting legal language Ethics: Commitment to fairness, honesty, and professional responsibility Resilience: Ability to handle pressure, complexity, and long-term challenges
