We can assist students in a variety of ways through the process of picking a major or exploring career options by utilizing assessments (skills, interest and personality), career research, networking and/or job shadowing to support students.
What are some options for assistance?
Option 1: Research Careers
A great place to begin to research potential careers is to look at careers that individuals have pursued by major or academic area. To view the diversity of careers that one can pursue with a particular major, visit the Careers by Major web site. If you already know the career you are interested in, but want to know more about educational requirements, job outlook, and salary ranges for that career, visit the Occupational Outlook Handbook, an all-inclusive career exploration web site compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
GNST 202-Major and Career Exploration (the career class) will allow students a space to explore majors and subsequently careers related to their individual interests, skills, values, and personality type through career assessments, occupational resources, and informational interviews. Students will develop skills for career exploration, research, and reflection that will be applicable to their academic career and life after college. One semester hour.
Option 4: Schedule an Appointment With a Career Counselor
Whether you are in the process of picking a major or deciding what careers are possible with your academic program, you can meet one-on-one with a career counselor. Simply complete the career services appointment form linked here.
