Individual Career Counseling 

Career identity development and career exploration are viewed as part of an on-going process that occurs throughout the lifespan. If you have questions about your major or want to explore career options, we encourage you to schedule a confidential appointment with a career counselor.  Career counselors can help students determine how their values, interests, skills, passions, and sense of responsibility to the rest of the world are connected to career decision making and planning.

Students attend career counseling to do some of the following:

  • Discuss how to pick a major or a career.
  • Take a career assessment instrument.
  • Explore what kind of work might be satisfying.
  • Narrow their interests.
  • Research different majors and occupations.
  • Discuss academic struggles.
  • Learn decision-making skills, especially as related to significant choices like one's major or career direction.
  • Explore other issues (stress, family, finances, etc.) which may make it difficult to focus on choosing a major or career.

The center is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Appointments can be made by calling 414-288-7172 or by coming in person to the Center. See Appointment Information for additional information about services and location.
