FAQ

Where can I find…

the test that tells me what I should major in or what career I should pursue? Career tests (also called assessments) cannot tell you exactly what you should major in or what career you should pursue. Rather, career assessments can give you a starting point from which you can begin your exploration. Utilize SCS Career Counseling to talk about career options and whether completing a career assessment may be helpful.
