Career Counseling

If you're unsure about your major, or are wondering what major and career is a good fit for your interests, personality, values, and goals, contact ACES for an appointment with a career counselor.

Career counselors are like a passenger in the car that you are driving. They help you notice different paths to take, bumps in the road, or when to pull over to look at a map in more detail. You are the driver in your “career car”. With this in mind, career counselors do not tell you what to do. They 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. You can read more about our mission here.
