Career Success and Alumni Engagement offers career related assessments. Students and alumni should meet with a career coach to discuss their current needs.

For students and alumni to truly benefit from the type of information a career assessment can offer and relate their specific experiences to the assessment, all career assessment results must be reviewed with a career coach.

To schedule a career assessment:

1. Meet with a career coach to determine which career assessment is right for you. The career coach will provide you with the login information.
2. Take the career assessment online.
3. Schedule an interpretation session with your career coach.

The following career assessment focuses on a variety of different areas of self discovery, such as skills, interests, values and strengths to identify occupational options and career paths.
