Career Services
Choosing a college major or career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Talking with someone who is trained to help others determine a career plan can be amazingly helpful.
Helping Undecided Students
Career services can help students who have not yet determined a major. We can help you answer the following questions:
- How do I start the process of choosing a major?
- How do I know what majors match my interests, values and personality characteristics?
- What can I do with the major I’m considering?
