Career Guidance
Make an appointment to meet with a career specialist for individual assistance in choosing a career and a corresponding major. Explore your options and choose a path that will be personally and financially satisfying to you. Learn how past experiences can be repackaged as valuable skills for a new career.
Career Assessments
Get free access to EUREKA to take career self-assessments online as well as research careers, majors and schools. More comprehensive career assessments are available in the career center as well. Email your name and student ID to get access.
Completely lost? No idea what kind of career you want to pursue? Drop by the career center and take the
Strong Interest Inventory (SII). This assessment will take 30-45 minutes. No appointment needed to take
the assessment, but you will need an appointment to go over the results.
