Helping you choose a major

That's what we're here for!

Here at Career Services, we help
students choose a major every day!

We set you up with a counselor and have you take assessment tests
to measure your interests, personality, skills, and values.
Then, we provide career counseling to help you get on the right track towards achieving your educational and professional goals.

To visit with a career counselor, contact the Career Services at (801) 626-6393, and request a Career Intake. This appointment is the first step towards making a career decision.

A receptionist will make an initial appointment with an available counselor. If you have a specific counselor you'd like to meet with, just let us know! We can discuss your needs and help you formulate a plan for moving forward.

Individuals who find it convenient to see a counselor at the WSU Davis Center can call (801) 395-3460 for the dates and times when a Counselor is available at that campus.
