Career advising assists students in clarifying their life/career goals and in developing educational plans for the realization of those goals. The ultimate responsibility for making decisions rests with you, the student. Advisors and counselors can help monitor your progress and suggest the use of institutional support services.

If you have indicated a program of interest, it would be feasible to visit the applicable academic department for advising. If you are undecided about a program of study, you may wish to talk with an advisor in the Career Development and Resource Clinic (CDRC) in the Psychology Department . The CDRC career counselors assist the undecided students with their career exploration. In addition, students are highly encouraged to discuss their career aspirations with academic department faculty and staff. These knowledgeable individuals are not only available to provide success tips within the career field but can also work with you on such issues as making the transition to college, going on to graduate/professional school, and/or making the transition to the world of work.
