Selecting a major, an occupation, and a career path are essential decisions for college students. Since there are over 20,000 occupations from which to choose, ISU provides career counseling to verify or clarify occupational choices. Students who have gone through a career decision-making process are more likely to complete their college degrees or certificates, according to recent studies. The career counseling available to students and prospective students is designed to clarify appropriate career options by assessing personal interests, abilities, values, and work preferences. Our nationally certified and state licensed career counselors work with clients utilizing interest inventories, a computerized career information system, a comprehensive career library, and individual and group career counseling.
Moderate fees cover the cost of processing the interest inventory and utilizing the career computer.
There are no fees for individual career counseling or use of the career library and no appointment is necessary to start the process. Non-students are also welcome to use these career counseling services. Personality inventories and career tests may be offered in conjunction with counseling. Fees vary with each test.
