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.
