Career counselors are available to assist you individually with your career exploration. We utilize a number of resources to guide you through this process. Our professional career counselors are licensed professional counselors (LPC) with master’s degrees in counseling. We also utilize interns in the Master of Counseling program who are supervised by our counselors.
