Major Exploration and Career Design

Heads up, Wildcats! This program is only for enrolled WSU Students (non-concurrent enrollment).

Find Your Passion, Design Your Future


Whether you are choosing a major or considering career options, the WSU Major Exploration and Career Design program was designed for you! The program is built with busy student schedules in mind and provides help to students in choosing a major, creating an academic plan, and designing potential career paths.

How can I get help choosing a major?


Step 1: Take the Strong Interest Inventory (SII) Assessment

The Strong Interest Inventory (SII) is an assessment tool that helps identify your career interests and explore potential occupations and majors. 

  1. Click on the link below to take the assessment (free for WSU students)

    WSU Students: Click Here to take the SII

  2. Review your results by attending a one hour Major Exploration Workshop (see instructions to the right). Please ensure you complete the assessment at least one day before your scheduled workshop date.

Step 2: Attend a Major Exploration Workshop

You will receive the results to your Strong Interest Inventory Assessment during an in-person or virtual Major Exploration workshop. These workshops are appointment only and scheduled through Starfish using the link below.

  • Tuesdays, 1:30-2:30 p.m. in SC 140
  • Wednesdays, 11:30 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. in SC 140

Schedule a Workshop (Ogden Campus)

If you are having issues scheduling a workshop, are not at the Ogden campus, or the above times do not work for you, please contact us at studentpathways@weber.edu or give us a call at 801-626-6752.

Step 3: Meet with an Exploratory Advisor (if needed)

After you attend the workshop, if you need additional help choosing a major, please schedule a one-on-one appointment with an Exploratory advisor.
