Are you unsure about a career choice? Have you wondered
what you can pursue with your UCSC major? Are you unsure of which
major to choose? The UCSC Career Center offers three career assessments
that can help you gain clarity about these issues. These assessments
can be taken individually or together.

meet with you to provide you with feedback on your results.
