Your choice of major should reflect both your interests and goals – and help lead you to a fulfilling and engaging career. This is an important decision that, as a new college student, can be both daunting and challenging. With over 100 majors to choose from, there are many opportunities for you to explore!
Thankfully, along with academic advisement, we have a department on campus that is devoted to assisting students with their long-term goals and helping them find a major that will lead to a related and relevant career.
Career Services is where you should turn for advice on career opportunities, self-assessment surveys, resume and interviewing help, information about jobs on and off campus, and many more related subjects. They have a good FAQ section about these services, and contact information can also be found when you visit the site.
The Career Services web site also has a lot of great resources to help you begin thinking about your goals and the process of self-discovery. It can help you research different occupations, and perhaps even initiate looking ahead to graduate school.
As a new student, your journey starts here (http://www.ub-careers.buffalo.edu/student.shtml), where you should begin by selecting topics of interest to you. Those of you undecided about a career path will want to check out “Discover” , which is an on-line self-assessment tool. From there, discuss your results with a Career Counselor and find out what possibilities await you.
This is an exciting time for you, and Career Services is there to help you plan ahead and find a successful and suitable career choice! If you are undecided about a major, talking with both your Academic Advisor and taking advantage of Career Services will provide advice and direction.
Career Services is located at 259 Capen Hall and their number is (716) 645-2231.
