Counseling 12 is about how to make intentional decisions about your major and career path. In this class, we help you interpret career assessment results and discuss possibilities for what you want your life to look like in the future. While there are a few classes in Counseling 20 that cover career and major decisions, Counseling 12 is solely focused on helping you explore career paths and choose a major.
