Career Counselor and Student

Our office has several interest, personality, values and ability tests that can help you decide on an area of study. All testing results will be explained to your complete understanding. Suggestions/referrals will be offered with regard to test results and possible majors/careers. There may be a small charge for some of the tests.

If you prefer to gather information on your own, we have the DISCOVER (computer-aided guidance) program. This program contains lots of information about majors and careers including some on-line interest and values testing. (Call 227-3888 for DISCOVER user ID).
