FOCUS... on your future!
FOCUS is an online, self-guided program that will help you explore and make decisions about your career goals and your major areas of study. Use FOCUS to help you choose a career path, change a career path, or to confirm your preferences toward a certain career field.
What are the benefits of using career planning systems like FOCUS?
Career planning helps students become more motivated and goal focused. Students who are invested in career planning will be more likely to have high academic achievement, fewer transfers and switching of majors, and graduate on time. In the future, students will likely have a higher sense of satisfaction related to their chosen career field.
