If you are assisting students who are beginning to consider career options, we hope you'll recommend the Career Cornerstone Center. This site has been developed to help individuals explore the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics, computing, and healthcare. 

 If you are working with precollege students, there are many recommendations for courses, activities, and projects that may help students move closer to finding out which career path may be best for them.

Career planning is, of course, an ongoing process.  It may involve networking, exploring resources, and possibly having a mentor in the field.  Involvement in professional associations can also be a great help, as can gaining experience through internships or coops. This site also provides additional support on diversity, salary information, job hunting suggestions, and profiles of what a typical day in a field might be like. 

You can also explore the different types of academic degrees that are available in the United States, including the new Professional Science Master's degree. There is even a new section that explores online education options.
