Choosing a Major/Career - Career Advising

Planning your future career is an exciting and important step. At 91°µÍø, Career Development is here to help you make confident, informed decisions about your major and career path.
 

Career advising gives you the tools to better understand yourself — your strengths, talents, interests, values, and cultural perspectives — and how they shape your career journey. Together, we’ll explore questions like:

  • What unique strengths and talents will you bring to your career?
  • What motivates you and aligns with your work values?
  • How does your personality influence your career decision-making?

With a Career Advisor, you will:

  • Explore & Assess – Identify your strengths, interests, and skills.
  • Discover Options – Research career paths and opportunities that fit you.
  • Evaluate & Focus – Narrow your choices and set clear goals.
  • Decide & Commit – Make informed choices about your major and career direction.
  • Prepare & Plan – Build experience through internships and opportunities that prepare you for the future.
