The Career & Co-op Center is committed to supporting students in finding and launching rewarding careers. For students interested in structured, regular contact with our career advising staff, we offer career development courses for undergraduate students. These courses provide students with concrete action steps and guidance about important career topics while receiving academic credit.

Designed for undergraduate students who want to take a deep dive into the career exploration and decision-making process, this course has students examine their interests, skills, and values, as well as potential career paths. As a part of the course, students will complete CliftonStrengths for Students, an assessment that helps individuals identify their most prevalent talent themes. This is a one-credit course, offered on a pass-no credit basis. We’re offering two sections — one on North Campus, one on South Campus.
