Career Assessments
Assessments Available
The NSU Career Counselors will help you examine your interests, values, abilities and personality to find a major and/or profession that best suits you. Students who have yet to choose a career or are unhappy with their choice will find it helpful to meet with a Career Counselor. The Career Counselors also provide assistance with all of your job searching tools, documents and expectations.
Students are encouraged to take the FOCUS Assessment as a freshman in correlation with the University Strategies class to help them determine a major field of study. Transfer students are encouraged to take the assessment once enrolled at NSU. All students and alumni may access their FOCUS accounts to find "What Can I Do With My Major..."
