Thus, the team agreed that the core values and objectives of the programcould still be met in a one year-program via semi-independent quarters. There were severalbenefits to running the program in the aforementioned format: (a) the new scheme does not havean impact on scheduling or grade assignment; (b) students have the option to leave the program Page 26.1385.9at the end of each quarter and, at the same time, new students can join it at any quarter as long aspre-requisites are met

SCCT, an offshoot ofAlbert Bandura’s social cognitive theory, attempts to address issues of culture, gender, geneticendowment, social context, and unexpected life events that may interact with and supersede theeffects of career-related choices. SCCT focuses on the connection of self-efficacy, outcomeexpectations, and personal goals that influence an individual’s career choice. SCCT proposes thatcareer choice is influenced by the beliefs the individual develops and refines from four majorsources: (a) personal performance accomplishments, (b) vicarious learning, (c) social persuasion,and (d) physiological states and reactions.
