Rutgers Online Career Planning

Welcome to our online career planning process! The information in this section may help you begin your career development. This material is a starting point and may help you generate some tentative ideas for college majors and future career plans.

The online career planning site is not a comprehensive career planning experience, and we encourage you to complement this by meeting with a career counselor to further explore and develop your career plans. Website applications can be a starting point for your career planning. We recommend you continue by speaking with a counselor to gain a more comprehensive view of yourself and the college majors and career plans that may be most appropriate for you.

There are five components to the online career planning site:

Assess Yourself
Learn about your interests, skills, and values by completing three inventories.
Generate Options
Identify Rutgers University majors and general career options that relate to your interests and skills.
Gather Information
Learn more about Rutgers University majors and academic requirements. Obtain career information such as job descriptions, salary, and outlook.
Make a Decision
Review the decision-making process and determine the status of your decision.
Take Next Steps
Identify the steps you need to take to implement your academic and career plans.

We recommend you move through this process in the order it is presented, beginning with "Assess Yourself." Once you have completed the entire process, schedule an appointment at any Career Services office to discuss your academic and career plans with a counselor. Also, please complete our online evaluation and help us make future improvements to this site.
