This service is for students needing to choose, change, or clarify their academic majors. Students are introduced and oriented to SIGI 3, a self-paced career information system, where they can identify careers and majors that would be suitable to their interests, values and personality AND have immediate access to comprehensive occupational information for learning about different careers, educational requirements, employment trends, salaries, and more. Once students are oriented, they may continue their career exploration from their own computers (or any computer with internet connection) through a secure login.
