Complete a Self-Assessment
Career assessments are often helpful when students wish to explore their interests, skills, preferences, and values as they relate to selecting a major or choosing a career path. While making an informed major/career decision is a process, career assessments can be valuable in helping you narrow your selections and consider a variety of options.
The Career Center is proud to offer different assessments that may assist. One assessment is TypeFocus and can be taken by all students and results are immediate.
TypeFocus is an online career guidance tool that identifies career fields matched to your personality, interests, skills, and values. Discover careers and majors that might be interesting, rewarding, and fun for you. You will need this access code when you register: WSU2020.
