What comes first, the major or the career development process?

The answer is either. Our career development process starts the day you step foot on campus.

If you need help deciding on a career path and haven’t declared a major, start at . It’ll help you learn about yourself and explore your options.

If you already know what you want to do, great! You’ll find dedicated career resources within your school—and a wide variety of career-oriented events and job fairs offered across campus.
