Counseling

Counseling plays an important part in the student's adjustment to the college environment. Counselors try to help students in their individual growth and with the identification of significant patterns of interest and experiences. To accomplish these purposes, individual counseling, objective testing and special orientation activities aid students with the transition to college and allow them to benefit from their college experience and also to begin the process of sound vocational choices.
