Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS)
There are times in the academic process that students need career counseling.  Perhaps it is a time of finding a college major or it could be feeling that the chosen major was not what was expected. Returning students are often considering a career change.  The counseling process allows students to make an informed personal choice.  A variety of career assessment instruments are available and are often utilized in the career counseling process.

Career Development Services (CDS)
Career Development Services (CDS) assists students and alumni in preparing for and achieving their career goals. CDS offers individual advising to students as well as helpful resources in the Career Center. CDS works closely with our employer colleagues to assist them with their recruiting needs, as well as provide support and resources to faculty and staff on campus.

First Year Advising (FYA)
First Year Advisors guide new students in their transition into and navigation of the university experience.  Our staff helps students clarify their interests, skills and values in the context of class selection, major choice, and curriculum planning.  We empower students to make informed academic decisions; while helping them interpret policy and understand the university resources available to assist in their academic success.
