Career Counseling
Personalized, one-on-one counseling is available to assist students in understanding more about personalities, interests and values and how this information relates to career areas and majors. Counselors can also support clients through the decision-making process, conquering career and graduate school fears and setting appropriate goals.
Students may schedule an appointment for a career assessment, including the Strong Interest Inventory or FOCUS.
Eagle Employment
This is a free online career center that includes part-time, full-time cooperative education and internship jobs, as well as an alumni mentor network.
