Academic Advising

» Need Help With Scheduling or Transfer Matters? Questions about what classes to take, what program requirements are still needed to be filled, how many hours to take, questions about adding and dropping classes and how to structure study time, are the things that we can help you with.

Career Assessment

» Are you unsure about your career direction? Career assessments are designed to help you learn more about yourself. Some assessments compare you with people already in certain occupations. These assessments might help provide a focus for your exploration and information gathering, may confirm some of your thinking, or may challenge a line of thinking you may be pursuing. It may help generate occupational options or narrow down options you are already considering. It will probably not provide "The Answer", but can provide another helpful piece of the puzzle. It is suggested that you combine career assessments with the use of other resources as well.  [Career Assessment Links]
