Are career assessments available for students?
The Career Exploration Center offers various assessments to help students understand their preferences, interests, and skills, providing a starting point for exploring majors and careers.
All assessments are free for UW-Madison undergraduates, covered by the Career Exploration Center. Some assessments require a meeting with a CEC career advisor.
The Career Exploration Center strongly encourages students to meet with a Career Advisor if considering doing a career assessment, as our staff can help students analyze the findings and help students put it into action at UW-Madison.
