Choosing your major can be difficult and confusing. Like many students, you may feel this way especially if you are expected to commit to a major before you have even begun to think about future career possibilities, or if you have many interests. Choosing a major and choosing a career are not necessarily the same thing...

Resource Room: Over 250 books that have information on various career options

Career Counseling: Professional staff can help you evaluate options and overcome any barriers to decision making.

Workshops: In the fall and spring semesters, we present numerous programs and panels with a focus on specific majors and career fields.

Focus-2 – Computer-Assisted Career Exploration: It will identify and inform you about several careers that typically match a person with your interests and values. We encourage you to meet with a counselor after completing Focus-2.
