Career Planning

You may have come to the university knowing just what career path to take or you may be exploring many careers. We're pleased to support you on your journey to a profession that will match your vocation. 

Southwestern's students and staff are welcome to take any of the career or interest inventories available through the Center for Student Success. Results offer insight into your aptitudes, achievements, interests, personality, and values, and how these will affect a particular career path.

You may find that your vocation - what Christians think of as a calling from God - is prompting you to take on new academic challenges. We want to help you.
