The Counseling Center offers students a comprehensive range of academic, personal, and career counseling services. Students are given the oppor- tunity to explore issues that will help them to achieve success. Individual counseling sessions and group workshops are conducted by professionally trained counselors. The Center also provides information about scholarships and graduate school programs.

Career planning begins with self assessment.
