Career Counseling

Some students enter college knowing exactly what major and career they want to pursue.  Others are facing challenges such as changing occupations or jobs. 

But most students come to college not knowing what they want to pursue in life, let alone what major to enter or how to pick a major.

The counselors in the Counseling Center are prepared for all such circumstances.  They can provide you with  tools, guidance courses, and insights from their own experiences in assisting you to establish the goals that are best for you.

Two courses  — Guidance 96 and Guidance 130 —  provide exercises and tools useful in defining who you are, setting goals, and moving toward a fulfilling occupation and lifestyle. 

Additionally, the web sites below offer excellent  information and a start toward career and major selection.
