Exploration

Whether you’re unsure of your major, trying to figure out what you can do with your degree, or discovering that the path you thought you were on may no longer be the right one for you—you have come to the right place!

Career exploration is about getting curious, talking to people, and trying things out to discover the possibilities! This process is ongoing, so whether you’re a first-year student just getting started, a sophomore trying to decide on a major, a junior or senior considering post-grad options, or an alumnus/a looking to change careers, your career development never really ends—so embrace the journey!

Below are resources to help you explore and create your own vision for your future career. Start off by taking the "Career Community" Quiz and then check out some or all of the resources listed below, and you’re welcome to schedule an appointment with a career advisor to help you get started.
