Peer Guidance and Career Counseling
Peer Career surveys consistently show that one on one discussions with peer guides and career counselors are one of the most helpful resources at Peer Career.

In the past, you may have discussed choosing a major with parents, friends, and other family members. While this can be helpful, having an open and objective conversation with someone you do not know can often be most beneficial. Peer guides and career counselors are here to listen to you and help you make the best decision about your major and career.
