Career Counseling

Advice on Career Decisions

For many of our Graduate Studies programs, the education you gain can apply to a multitude of different career paths. Choosing the right path that will work to your knowledge and abilities can be a difficult decision. Because we recognize this as an important choice for students, Graduate Studies offers individual career counseling.

Counselors can help provide you with additional insight, information, and perspective on career opportunities and professions. The office also offers CV/Resume review in order to help you put your best foot forward.
