Career Counseling

Career Decisions

The Career Development Center offers one-on-one individualized counseling to discuss your college major and future career goals. This is called Career Counseling.

During a typical appointment, we will discuss your current academic and career interests and analyze the results of your career aptitude test, MyPlan. Then we will take you through tangible steps to acheive your goals. If you need help choosing your major, we will discuss your interests to help you discern what is right for you.

The best thing about it… it is free for current undergraduate, graduate and SPS students, as well as alumni who have graduated within the last year.
