Exploring UNI Majors & Careers

Exploring majors is a process. In addition to working closely with your academic advisor, you can begin to research options on your own!

Take A Self-Assessment

Students are encouraged to take self-assessments to help understand your strengths, interests, and possible major and career paths. This starts you down the road of actively exploring your options for programs of study and helps you to learn more about yourself. The Office of Academic Advising works closely with students to take self-assessments and interpret the results to assist in the major exploration process.

Career Cruising - a free, online assessment to help you identify your skills and interests and connect those with majors and careers.
World of Work - this free tool helps you determine if you prefer to work with people, things, ideas, or data and connect this with possible careers.
Strong Inventory (Holland Codes) - this $16 in-depth assessment interest inventory helps you understand your interests and identify possible career paths based on your personality. You will receive a comprehensive results report that an academic advisor will review with you during an individual appointment. Contact our office to begin!
