Undecided - What resources are available to help me explore possible majors/careers?

• You should meet with your advisor in the Student Academic Success Center to discuss your interests and goals.  Your advisor will guide you through the process of choosing a major.
   

  

• You should also consider adding US 102, a one-credit career exploration course, to your next semester's schedule.   

• The counselors at the Counseling and Career Development Center can help you determine your strengths, interests, and values as they relate to career choices.

   

• The Career Services Office has a wonderful resource called the Career Contact Bank, which connects Grand Valley State University students with working or retired professionals from various fields so that students can learn more about specific careers.  

• Every year, the Advising Council organizes a Majors Fair. At the Major Fair you can meet with Faculty over different majors. You will learn about the majors and courses related to those majors.
