Career Counseling Appointments
Career counseling is a systematic approach to facilitating the career decision-making and job search process. It is a partnership between you and your career counselor designed to assist you in making important decisions about your major, career, job search or graduate studies.
Career counselors are available to assist you with a range of career-related concerns through in-person or online appointments. Choose from the following appointment topics:
Career Exploration and Decision Making

- Major Exploration (60 min)
- Career Exploration and Planning (60 min)
Job and Internship Search Preparation
- Resume/Cover Letter Review (30 min)

Graduate and Professional School

The appointment topic you select gives your counselor an idea of what you’d like to discuss, but it does not limit your appointment in any way. Your counselor will tailor your appointment to your needs – just let us know how we can help!
