The Office of Career Services assists students with such services as resume writing, job availability, application to graduate or professional school, finding an internship, and successful interviewing. The Office of Career Services also has free or low-cost skills testing to best match a student's academic talents, interests, values and career options. Tests such as Discover, Myers-Briggs, Campbell Interest Inventory can be a tremendous help when students are interested in more than one major and need assistance in choosing a major. The tests and post-test discussions are done by appointment.

The Counseling Services office should be a student's first call for any issue related to an emotional state, dealing with stress, handling a crisis, or coping with the transition to college. Students often come for help with concerns both large and small, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, chemical use, assault or abuse, sexual identity, relationship conflicts, grief, academic stress, and family issues. Counseling Services can also be a referral resource when situations require off-campus care or longer-term therapy. Services are available to all full and part-time students who are currently registered. Visits to Counseling Services are free – all visits are covered by the mandatory Comprehensive Fee included in the tuition bill.

Most health care needs and concerns can be taken care of by one of our providers. Most students can be seen the same day or the next day. The office offers appointment times during some evening and weekend hours.  Specialty services include:
