Career Planning & Exploration
Whether you are just starting to explore careers or making a career change, it is important to find a career that matches your interests, skills, and abilities. Career exploration can help you discover your ideal career path.
If you are unsure of your career path or want more information, make an appointment with your academic advisor for guidance in exploring and choosing a major and/or career.
Assessments
We offer a variety of assessments to identify your interests, values, experiences and abilities. These are similar to multiple-choice exams, but are not timed and do not have right or wrong answers. Reviewing and understanding the outcomes will help lead to exploring and choosing different majors and careers.
