Plan Your Future
Major & Career Exploration
CCPD helps you identify majors and explore career paths that align with your interests, values, and goals. The earlier you start, the more confident you’ll be in your choices.
Self-Assessment
It takes time to discover who you are, what motivates you, and which academic or career paths fit your personality, interests, values, and skills. CCPD provides self-assessment tools to guide you, starting with the TypeFocus Careers inventory—introduced during Welcome Week and available anytime by scheduling an appointment with our team.
