Major and Career Exploration

Xavier University's Career Development Office serves as a resource to assist students through their major and career decision-making process as well as their transition to professional life. The career development process is not a linear one, as shown by the Xavier Career Development Model, but rather, one that continues throughout your life!

While choosing your major and/or career path can feel stressful, Career Development is here to help every step of the way! We invite you to schedule an appointment with a Career Coach for assistance in your exploration journey.

Below, check out the different resources Career Development has to offer to students who are exploring majors and careers!
