Advising • Career • Exploratory Studies Center

About Us

The Advising • Career • Exploratory Studies Center is focused on you, the student, and your success throughout your academic career. Our three divisions: Academic Advising, Career Counseling, and Career Services, all serve to assist you when you enter the university and when you are preparing to leave. Our trained Academic Advisors can help you decide on your class schedule, find academic resources, and understand your degree evaluation. Our licensed Career Counselors assist you to clarify what you most want in life so that you can find a career path that connects to who you are as a person. Lastly, but certainly not least, our Career Services team functions to assist you in finding employment after college by hosting career fairs, offering resume and cover letter reviews and many other career preparation services.
