ARE YOU UNDECIDED ABOUT YOUR COLLEGE MAJOR? YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Starting college as an undecided student may be daunting. You may feel that you’re already behind on your four-year degree progress or you may be worried about fitting in on campus. You also may be unsure of how to explore the majors offered at your school and the career outcomes they lead to.

SVSU offers a FREE Focus2® assessment to help students identify their work personality by exploring their interests in six broad areas: realistic, artistic, investigative, social, enterprising, and conventional (often referred to using the acronym RIASEC).

We are driven to help you succeed and we are committed to guiding you along the way.
