Selecting a Major?

Making Career Decisions?

Researching Majors & Careers?

Additionally, career decisions -- be it the first job you choose after college or making a commitment to graduate school -- are some of the most important choices you will make. To make a good decision, it is often helpful to know how your unique personal qualities relate to opportunities in the working world.

CPS offers a variety of services that can be helpful if you are trying to choose a major and/or make decisions about your career.

Individual Counseling: Students often find it helpful to meet individually with a career counselor to help them sort through their options. For a variety of reasons, you may want to meet with a counselor one-on-one to talk about your situation. Are you unsure what career test to take? Have you already taken a career assessment and feel confused about how to use your results? Maybe you are having trouble sorting out conflicting interests or pressures. Or perhaps you need support in the decision-making process.
