Exploratory Academic Advising

Focus Career and Educational Planning System

The Exploratory Advising Office utilizes the Focus Career and Education Planning System as part of a process to provide undecided students the opportunity to begin developing their major and career exploration plan. The free, convenient, on-line Focus System uses a variety of reliable and valid self-assessment instruments to help students identify their personality types and career interests.

Students can then use their self-assessment results to guide their major and career exploration process. In addition to career and major exploration guided by self-assessment results, students can also research careers by name or by industry, side by side, and also explore careers based on potential majors or minors!

Your Exploratory Advisor can help guide you in using this system, and other available resources, to find a major and career path that is the best fit for your personality, skills, and interests!
