Gathering information about majors and careers is an important part of the decision making process. Many students or prospective students are unsure about the world of college, the world of work, and the process of preparing themselves for that work/career through yet another process called choosing a major.
The Dean of Students' Office offers career counseling and advising. The opportunities for career exploration are the following:
The Career Battery Test
This is a three-hour written test that is done by pen and paper, in the Dean of Students' Office. The cost is $30 for students and $60 for non-students. For more information, contact Linda Neulieb or call (219) 785-5230.
The Discover Career Exploration Program
This program is free of charge. It includes career exploration inventories about your interests, abilities and values, as well as information on occupations, majors and schools. It is available for use by anyone with an Internet connection and user #ID. You may access this number by emailing aburke@pnc.edu or by calling Linda Neulieb at (219) 785-5230.
To fully understand your results and receive personal instruction in using the program, it is strongly recommended that students speak with the Discover Coordinator after completing the inventories. This is to ensure that students understand the results of their evaluation, and receive further instructions on how to use the program. If you are unable to come to an appointment, there are a series of workshops designed to explain the program, and get you started.
